Historic Sites of Manitoba: Seneca School No. 887 (RM of Rosedale)
The Seneca School District was established formally in January 1896 and, in 1898, a concrete schoolhouse was constructed at this site in the Rural Municipality of Rosedale. It closed in August 1916 and its students went to Eden Consolidated School No. 1661 in the nearby village of Eden. As of 1986, the former school building sat vacant at NW23-16-15W but it is no longer there.
