Historic Sites of Manitoba: Menota School No. 519 (Municipality of Brenda-Waskada)The Menota School District was established formally in November 1887, and a school building was erected on the northwest corner of 20-3-25 west of the Principal Meridian, in what is now the Municipality of Brenda-Waskada. It closed in June 1952, with remaining students going to Napinka Consolidated School No. 2369 or Medora Consolidated School No. 493, and the district was dissolved in January 1959. The former school building sat alongside Highway 452, between Highway 3 and Waskada, until 2009 when it was moved to the Waskada Museum where it was renovated as a display.
