Historic Sites of Manitoba: Tenterfield School No. 653 (Municipality of Oakland-Wawanesa)
The Tenterfield School District was organized formally in April 1891 and a one-room school building was erected in the southeast quarter of 10-7-17 west of the Principal Meridian, in what is now the Municipality of Oakland-Wawanesa. It closed in 1945 and was formally dissolved in January 1961, with the district consolidating with Wawanesa Consolidated School No. 2393.
