This monument near Miniota in the Municipality of Prairie View marks the original site of Sarahville School, built in 1892 after a school district was established in August 1891. In April 1913, Sarahville became the basis for Miniota Consolidated School No. 680 in Miniota, which united it with Beulah School No. 162 and Miniota School No. 389.
Among the teachers of Sarahville School was William Shepherd (1897).
