Manitoba Agricultural Museum
The Manitoba Agricultural Museum is dedicated to the collection, preservation, interpretation and demonstration of Manitoba agricultural heritage.
It holds the largest collection of vintage farm machinery in Canada, with many dating back to the Pioneer era of Manitoba. The Homesteaders' Village represents village life at the turn of the 20th century with over 20 buildings. This collection comes to life in many events throughout the year, including the annual Manitoba Threshermen's Reunion & Stampede in July and Winter Wonderland in December.
