Part of Leo Driedger fonds
The village of Blumenthal in the Hague-Osler Mennonite Reserve was settled in 1898. Shortly after 1900, the German school in the photo was built. It also served as the church. The school closed in 1930 after the Government of Saskatchewan forced the community to attend classes in an English speaking public school. Leo Driedger photographed this school when he did his M.A. on Old Colony Mennonites.
