Wilton Birmingham S.D. No. 2291


The Wilton Birmingham School sign is just outside the hamlet of Birmingham, Saskatchewan.  This country school district existed for sixty-five years.


The metal sign is accompanied by a sizeable stone monument.


The white border around the plaque simply glows in the late afternoon light.


The information on the plaque is slightly different than on the metal sign...the first five years are not recorded on the plaque.  Could be the school district was created in 1907 but the school wasn't built until 1912?

Photographed on October 28, 2020.

  1. Is the paint perhaps glow-in-the-dark? Or maybe a trick of the lighting. Either way it looks effective!
