Historic Sites of Manitoba: Harrowby School No. 603 (Harrowby, Municipality of Russell-Binscarth)The Harrowby School District was established in June 1889 and a one-room schoolhouse operated in Harrowby (NW28-20-29W) in what is now the Municipality of Russell-Binscarth. In 1967, the district was dissolved and its catchment area became part of the Russell School District and later the Pelly Trail School Division. As of 1986, the former school building was standing vacant but it was gone at the time of a 2012 site visit. Among the teachers of Harrowby School was Adolph Robert “Bob” Holman (1949-1950).
