Springwater School

Unlike a lot of other rural schools, Springwater School remains on it's original site and is still well maintained. Located 16 km north of Michihi, Alberta, it operated as a school from 1922 to 1942.

 

In April, 1952, the school was sold to the Majestic Farrell Lake Women's Institute for $200 and became a community hall. It is now taken care of by the Springwater Homestead Foundation.

 

The school was used as a set for the movie, "Bye Bye Blues" which was filmed in various Starland County locations in 1988.
