Historic Sites of Manitoba: Wynona School No. 1048 (Municipality of Prairie View)

The Wynona School District was established in January 1900 and a wood frame schoolhouse was constructed at NW33-13-27W in the Rural Municipality of Miniota. In 1919, it became part of the Miniota Municipal School system. The school closed in 1958 and the building was renovated into a community centre.
