Historic Sites of Manitoba: Otterburne West School No. 950 (RM of DeSalaberry)
The Otterburne West School District was organized formally in September 1889 and a one-room schoolhouse operated at SE29-6-3E in the Rural Municipality of DeSalaberry. The district was dissolved in 1967 and the former school building was later used as a community hall. The building was gone by the time of an August 2014 site visit.
