Historic Sites of Manitoba: Micawber School No. 2207 (RM of Lakeshore)

The Micawber School District was established in June 1929 and a one-room schoolhouse operated at NW12-29-15W in what is now the Rural Municipality of Lakeshore. In 1964, the district was dissolved and its area became part of the Lawrence Municipal School District. No vestige remains at the site.
