Fenwood is an pretty little village. When approaching this cache, you will see that Fenwood school is a prominent feature. The school was shut down in the 1990's, but the structure is solidly built, the doors and windows have been carefully boarded up, and the grounds and playground equipment are beautifully maintained.
The Village of Fenwood originally adopted its name from the name of the railroad station that was established as part of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad. Back when the Grand Trunk Railway Company was planning a western expansion of their establish rail system, an unknown person devised an alphabetical naming scheme to name all of the un-named stations and lines, starting in Manitoba, cycling five full rounds of the alphabet, and starting a sixth before finally ending at Prince Rupert, British Columbia. Fenwood is part of the second cycle, situated between Elroy (now Buckingham) and Goodeve.
Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad went out of business in the early 1920's. The railroad was taken over by the Canadian government and was made part of the Canadian National Railroad which is very active to this day.
