Historic Sites of Manitoba: The Oaks School No. 412 (RM of Louise)
The Oaks School District was organized formally in June 1885 and a one-room schoolhouse operated at the southeast corner of SW4-3-12W in the Rural Municipality of Louise. The school closed permanently in 1945 and the district was dissolved in 1953. Its catchment area was divided between the Clearwater Consolidated School District, Goudney School District, and Crystal City School District. A stone monument, dedicated on 23 July 1978, commemorates the school along with Thomas Bell and Daniel Stoddart who homestead at the site in the 1870s.
