Historic Sites of Manitoba: Darwin Station School No. 1950 (RM of Whitemouth)

The Darwin Station School District was established in January 1919 and a one-room schoolhouse operated at NW24-11-12E in the Rural Municipality of Whitemouth. The district was dissolved in 1966. No vestige of the former school building remains at the site.

Among the teachers who worked at Darwin Station School through the years were Curtis Wendeborn (1920-1925), Eva Schwartz (1930), Robert Monro (1935), Mary Williams (1940), and Agatha Wiebe (1945).
