Historic Sites of Manitoba: St. Mary’s School No. 451 (RM of Riding Mountain West)
The St. Mary’s School District was organized formally in July 1885 and a school building was erected the following year on the southwest quarter of 30-20-26 west of the Principal Meridian in what is now the Rural Municipality of Riding Mountain West. It closed in January 1967 and remaining students went to Angus School No. 1487. The building, converted to a granary, still remains at the site and a monument dedicated in 1984 stands nearby.
