Historic Sites of Manitoba: Salisbury School No. 127 (Municipality of Glenella-Lansdowne)The Salisbury School District was established formally in October 1881, and a brick veneer school building operated on the southwest quarter of 20-15-14 west of the Principal Meridian, in what is now the Municipality of Glenella-Lansdowne. It closed in 1967 and henceforth students in the area were transported by bus to Arden Consolidated School No. 341 or Neepawa School No. 126. The former school building remained at the site for some time but has since been replaced by a modern residence building. The school’s name sign, visible in the photo below the chimney, is mounted at the end of the driveway into the site. Among the teachers of Salisbury School was Mrs. Mildred Kilburn (1957-1962).
