Historic Sites of Manitoba: Wolverine School No. 1809 (Municipality of Russell-Binscarth)

The Wolverine School District was organized formally in August 1915 and a one-room schoolhouse operated at NE29-21-29W in what is now the Municipality of Russell-Binscarth. In 1967, the district was dissolved and its catchment area became part of the Russell Consolidated School District and later the Pelly Trail School Division.
