Whitewater Manitoba Ghost Town Remembers Its Bustling Past
The article recalls Whitewater, a Manitoba village once thriving between Boissevain and Deloraine. It highlights George Morton’s 1886 townsite, Morton's store and elevator, multiple grain companies, and a brickyard. The community's decline followed school closure in 1967 and population shifts to larger centres.
