Clayton McLain Memorial Museum Cut Knife Saskatchewan Gen Web - One room School Project


Dear Valued Visitors,

Exciting news! The Saskatchewan One Room School House Project, a cherished resource on the Provincial Saskatchewan Gen Web, is making a move to a new domain. You can now find us at https://saskgenweb.ca/cansk/school. We're thrilled to announce that this labor of love will continue, and our webpages will be regularly updated at the new Domain.

Our commitment to documenting the rich history of one room school houses, cemetery and headstones, historical maps, and disappearing placenames remains unwavering. These records are invaluable for those tracing their genealogy or seeking historical insights into the past.

To support this endeavor, we've launched a Patreon community at https://www.patreon.com/SaskGenWeb. Your contribution enables us to maintain the new domain and web hosting, ensuring the continuity of this essential service for historians, genealogists, and the public.

Explore the revamped webpages at https://saskgenweb.ca/cansk/school and witness the ongoing journey of the Saskatchewan One Room School House Project. As we embark on this exciting chapter, we invite you to join our Patreon community, ensuring that this historical treasure trove thrives for years to come.

A heartfelt thank you to Ancestry.com and Rootsweb.com for their past support. Now, we're turning to you, our community, to help us sustain this vital Saskatchewan GenWeb service.

Your support is truly appreciated.

Warm regards,

Saskatchewan GenWeb Team of Volunteers

Please email the SK ORSH webmaster if you have information any of the missing legal land description of the above School Houses. Several sources were consulted to add the legal land descriptions. The GPS coordinates added courtesy of the Clayton McLain Memorial Museum. In 2012 as part of the Cut Knife Centennial project all one room schoolhouse sites, cemeteries and points of interest were visited and photographed and their GPS locations recorded. At the museum, they have a couple of original one room schoolhouses moved onto their grounds as noted above, the interiors have been furnished with historical artifacts from the one room schoolhouse era. School banners, pupil listings, teacher listings, and histories of a few of the schoolhouses are also visible inside the museum. Thank you.
