Historic Sites of Manitoba: Soudan School No. 400 (Municipality of WestLake-Gladstone)
In 1886, Soudan School was a log building about 20 feet by 24 feet, with grades one to eight, and situated one half mile west of this site in what is now the Municipality of WestLake-Gladstone. By 1900 the enrolment grew to 30 students and a larger, new school was built on this site. The school closed in 1966 and was later demolished.
Among the teachers of Soudan School was P. D. Stewart (1897).
