Historic Sites of Manitoba: Mennonite Heritage Village Museum (Steinbach)
The Mennonite Heritage Village Museum, established in 1957, is located on a 40-acre site north of Steinbach. Open year-round as one of Manitoba’s Signature Museums, it tells the story of Mennonite faith and culture through the centuries, from the 16th century to the present day. Also on the grounds is a monument bearing several commemorative plaques as well as a plaque erected by the Historic Sites Advisory Board of Manitoba in commemoration of the Mennonite East Reserve.
Hours of Operations for the Village Grounds:
May, June, and September:
Monday-Saturday: 10 am - 5 pm
Sunday: noon to 5 pm
July & August:
Monday-Saturday: 10 am - 6 pm
Sunday: noon to 6 pm
October-April (outdoor buildings are closed)
Monday-Friday: 10 am - 4 pm
Because the outdoor buildings are locked up from October to April, daily admission prices are reduced by 50% during those months. If they are unlocked by arrangement for a large group, regular admission prices apply.
The museum may be closed due to severe weather conditions. To avoid disappointment please call ahead.
