Melrose, Nova Scotia
Historically a farming and logging community it at one time had a grist mill and tannery, the neighbouring Crow's Nest Gold Mine, as well as the 11 Mile House stage coach stop and local post office. Since its heyday in the late 19th century it has declined in population.
The one room school house was replaced with a four classroom school in the 1960s, known as Greenfield Elementary, around which much of the local community life revolved. Which educated grades primary to six until the 1990s, when consolidation of the municipality resulted in a single elementary school in Sherbrooke. Since then the building was used as a Seniors Club and Community Centre and post office until it was recently demolished, along with the community softball field.
