Historic Sites of Manitoba: Plum Hollow School No. 549 (RM of Killarney-Turtle Mountain)The Plum Hollow School District was established formally in August 1888 and a school building was erected in 14-1-17 west of the Principal Meridian, in what is now the Rural Municipality of Killarney-Turtle Mountain. The school closed in December 1962 and the district was dissolved the next year. Its remaining students went to Lena Consolidated School No. 1393. The school building is no longer present at the site but a metal sign commemorates it. Among the teachers of Plum Hollow School were George B. Monteith (1888), Miss Agnes Friesen (1962), and G. G. Schmidt.
