Historic Sites of Manitoba: Chicken Hill School No. 581 (Municipality of Pembina)The Chicken Hill School District was established formally in May 1889 and a building was erected in the southwest quarter of 11-1-7 west of the Principal Meridian, in what is now the Municipality of Pembina. It closed in July 1965 and the remaining students went to Point Douglas Consolidated School No. 1475. The school building has been used to store grain and pesticide containers, and is now badly deteriorated. Among the teachers at Chicken Hill School were John Vanderstoel and Edith Miller (two years).
