Touchwood Hills School is near Punnichy, Saskatchewan.
There were three different schools bearing the same name. The first school was in use from 1897-1905. After a fifteen year hiatus the second school was built and operated between 1920-1931. The third school, as shown in the photos, was the education centre for the community from 1932-1959.

Good one.
ReplyDeleteThanks BW.
DeleteSeems a shame that the second version was only open for 11 years - you'd think it should have been a lot longer than that.
ReplyDeleteSome pioneer schools were open for even less time than this. Since this school opened directly after the second one closed...my guess is they just needed a bigger school.
