Historic Sites of Manitoba: Wood Lake School No. 751 (Municipality of Boissevain-Morton)The Wood Lake School District was established formally in March 1893. A building was erected in the northeast quarter of 8-2-19 west of the Principal Meridian, in what is now the Municipality of Boissevain-Morton. It operated until January 1967 when it was consolidated with Boissevain School No. 373. The school building was moved to Boissevain where it was used for some time as a temporary classroom. After a new school opened there in 1971, it was sold and moved to the vicinity of Killarney. A monument on the tree-lined original site is dedicated to local pioneers.
