The little house was used as a school from 1845 to about 1880 when it was succeeeded by a recently demolished elementary school whose bell was marked with that date. The little school then became a dwelling and a front porch and back room were added.

The Little School Museum in the Town of Lockeport came into being as the Centennial Project of the Lockeport Garden Club. The club saw an opportunity to make the former school an historic site so that the children of the area might learn more of their past. Through donations from former Lockeport students, the school was purchsed by the Garden Club in 1967. Club members undertook to care for the gardens, the town agreed to mow the lawns and the Ragged Island IODE donated a Nova Scotian flag to be flown during open hours. The Nova Scotia Museum helps with the cost of operation.
