Historic Sites of Manitoba: Silver Creek School No. 288 (Silverton, RM of Silver Creek)

The Silver Creek School District was organized formally in 1884 and a school building was erected in the village of Silverton in the Rural Municipality of Silver Creek. The original building was subsequently replaced by the present structure, which still stands on the original site. The district was dissolved in 1967 when students were sent to Russell Consolidated School No. 2454.
