Historic Sites of Manitoba: Seeburn School No. 452 (RM of Riding Mountain West)
The Seeburn School District was established in July 1885 and a one-room schoolhouse operated at SW4-20-26W in what is now the Rural Municipality of Riding Mountain West. In 1967, the district was dissolved and its catchment area was added to the Angus School District. It later became part of the Pelly Trail School Division.
Among the teachers who worked at Seeburn School was Mary Hamilton (1885).
