Historic Sites of Manitoba: Silver Creek School No. 288 (Silverton, RM of Riding Mountain West)
The Silver Creek School District was organized formally in 1884 and a school building was erected at Silverton in what is now the Rural Municipality of Riding Mountain West. 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.
