Historic Sites of Manitoba: Edna School No. 664 (RM of Minto-Odanah)
Established formally in January 1891, the original Edna School was erected in 1892 on this site, in what is now the Rural Municipality of Minto-Odanah, with teacherage and barn, at a cost of $700. It was a wood frame, one-room school which served until 1930, at which time it was renovated, and a basement was installed with furnace and toilets. Due to consolidation, the school closed in 1949 and the district was dissolved in December 1951. A monument at this site was dedicated in July 1987 to the district pioneers, teachers, trustees, and students.
