Historic Sites of Manitoba: Crystal River School No. 243 (Municiplity of Cartwright-Roblin)The Crystal River School District was established formally in March 1882 and a school building was later erected on the northeast quarter of 26-2-13 west of the Principal Meridian in what is now the Municipality of Cartwright-Roblin. It closed in 1961 and the remaining students went to Clearwater School No. 2324. The building was used for a time as a granary but was later deconstructed by a group of architecture students from the University of Manitoba. A metal sign at its former site commemorates the school.
