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.

ROSE FARM School District # 2632
southwest of Herbert

Merle Harrison,



An additional note received from Merle Harrison, {Meadow Prairie / Barich School 2716}, adds that "Rosefarm School is 4 miles directly south of the town of Herbert," and that Henry Penner was one of the students of Rosefarm.

When Merle Harrison returned to her farm near Rosefarm School, the above photos were submitted.

The first one is the only one with the flagpole showing on the north side of the school. This photo is taken on the south side of the school.
The second photo is from the north east corner of the school.
The third photo would have been the entrance on the east side.

The schoolhouse has been re-purposed, and the new owners, have planted coniferous trees to sort of frame the school yard area.

If you are into google earth, you could zoom in and see it topographically.

The location is four miles south, turn right to west, and it would be about a quarter of a mile down that road.

Enjoy,
Merle
