Historic Sites of Manitoba: Crowell School / Ewart School No. 1287 (Ewart, RM of Pipestone)Known originally as Crowell School District when it was established in March 1904, it was renamed Ewart School District in 1914. A one-room frame school building was erected in the village of Ewart in the Rural Municipality of Pipestone. The district was dissolved in December 1965 and its remaining students went to Sinclair Consolidated School No. 1051 or Reston Consolidated School No. 141. The building still stands at the site but the road through Ewart that once ran past it has been converted into a farm field so it is a long walk from the nearest road.
