A monument in the Rural Municipality of Cameron, erected in 1982,
commemorates the former community of Melgund, named for Lord Melgund,
Chief of Staff for Major General Middleton during the 1885 North West
Rebellion. A Presbyterian church (later Melgund United Church) operated
here from 1885 to 1967. The Melgund School District No. 322, known
originally as Rose School District, operated here from 1884 to 1963.
After the school closed, the remaining students went to Hartney
Consolidated School No. 2389 or Lauder Consolidiated School No. 779.

The Truro School District was established formally in July 1885, named
in commemoration of the Nova Scotia birthplace of local settler Robert
T. Logan. The next year, a one-room frame school building was erected
on the southwest corner of 12-5-24 west of the Principal Meridian, in
the Rural Municipality of Cameron. Enrollment was as high as 41
students at a time but declining attendance caused the school to close
in 1944. Remaining students went to Dand Consolidated School No. 1913
or Lauder Consolidated School No. 779. The building was later moved to
Hartney and the district was dissolved in January 1961.
