Historic Sites of Manitoba: Craigie School No. 908 (RM of Russell)

The Craigie School District was organized formally in August 1897 and a school building was erected on the southwest quarter of 19-20-28 west of the Principal Meridian, in the Rural Municipality of Russell. The school closed in 1942 and its remaining students went to Russell School No. 273. The building is no longer present at the site but a monument commemorates it.
