Historic Sites of Manitoba: Albert School No. 152 (RM of Dufferin)

A cairn marks the former location of Albert School, which was organized in June 1884. A brick school building was constructed the next year in the southeast quarter of 10-7-5 west of the Principal Meridian, in the Rural Municipality of Dufferin. It was replaced by a new frame structure in 1953. The school closed in January 1968 and its building was moved to the Miami Museum.
