This section is under construction and like any great work of art, it'll take a little time.
The pages may be a little slow loading as long as there are photos present; and pictures are a big part of Lavingtons history as you will see as this site evolves.

The Duteau Grist Mill

The Duteau House built 1870's still stands.

Both these pictures taken in the 40's were captured almost from the same spot; standing on Dawe Drive looking west. The left snapshot is of the 1st school, it is still standing. It was replaced by the school on the right, which is now gone.
A third school was built on Johnson (School) Road. It has since been expanded into the present Community School.

Watch for more details & pics of early settlers, some backround info on the school and hopefully a few tales of the old days from some of our more senior members of the community.
