History
editI came across this page whilst doing some spell-checking; I've commented out the last two paragraphs of the "History" section, as they appear to be vandalism. I'm certainly no expert, but they don't really seem to make a lot of sense. Seems rather in need of some expertise from someone more knowing of Winterbourne than I.

Looks like it was some general vandalism aimed at residents of another Winterbourne, so it wasn't even relevant to this article in any way. I would love to update the page, but there's really not that much information out there. Winterbourne is a tiny little town. The only reason it has a school is because the local school board used to operate them in rural locations. A lot of these were sold, which is why the Foundation Christian School exists.
Googling around, I can't find much other than stuff written by a local religious nutter. There are a number of old houses, including the house that belonged to the founder, as well as a church and a couple of cemeteries. Here is a page with a photo of the gates of the main one, and some burial notes. The Christian school has a web site here.
More stuff: Just outside the town, there is a major meeting house for old order Mennonites in the area. This page has some details. Also, there is a steel frame bridge over the Grand River just behind the town, detailed here.
I'd be happy to upload photos of any of these things, though I'm not sure whether they're noteworthy enough to include in the article. Little towns often don't have much more than stubs.
