Historic Sites of Manitoba: Connaught School No. 1630 (RM of Argyle)A monument stands at the original site of Connaught School, established in May 1912 and named for the Duke of Connaught, the third son of Queen Victoria and Canada’s Governor General at the time. A one-room wood frame building was erected here, on the northeast corner of 33-3-14 west of the Principal Meridian, in the Rural Municipality of Argyle. The school served the educational needs of the district until January 1965 when it was consolidated with Baldur Consolidated School No. 667. The building was moved north of Glenboro and renovated into a private residence. Among the teachers of Connaught School were R. O. P. Bolton and Albert Buttress (1912).
