Historic Sites of Manitoba: Mowbray School No. 245 (1887-1967)

Mowbray School in the Municipality of Pembina is a rare surviving example of the hundreds of one-room schools that dotted the Manitoba landscape from the late nineteenth century until about the middle of the twentieth century. Today, most have been lost to fire, demolition, removal, or re-use. This school, established in 1887, was closed in 1956. The students from this area then went to Manitou Consolidated School No. 314.
