Wilmot Township S.S. No. 7 School,
Pinehill, Ontario. X.961.064.001
Pinehill was at the junction of present-day Wilmot Centre Road and the Huron Road, a little to the east of Haysville. Its name derived from a ridge of pine forest in the locality, once called The Pinery. These pine forests were cleared, beginning in the 1830s, and a sawmill produced lumber for home building and other uses. A Methodist church and a school (Wilmot Township S.S. No. 7) were built on the crest of the hill from which Pinehill took its name. The Methodist chapel was disbanded around the turn of the twentieth century; the Pinehill school closed in 1964.
