Historic Sites of Manitoba: Craigie School No. 908 (Municipality of Russell-Binscarth)
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 what is now the Municipality of Russell-Binscarth. 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.
