In 1935, the Tolstoi School District, in what is now the Municipality of Emerson-Franklin, opened a second school at the southwest corner of SW11-2-5E. Grades one through eight were taught here (except in 1962-1963), with older students attending high school at the district’s other schoolhouse. The district became part of the Boundary School Division in 1967 and school operations here ended that year.
