Friesen Housebarn Interpretive Centre

Built early 1890s, the Friesen housebarn is a beautifully preserved example of a housebarn. Housebarns are homes attached to barns, a tradition brought from Europe and adapted to the Canadian prairies. This buildings offers insights into the history and culture of Mennonite settlers.

Bergthal School

This one-room school was constructed in 1904 in Altbergthal, Manitoba and functioned as a public school in until its closure in 1965. In 2012, the school was moved to the village of Neubergthal. It is situated in almost the exact location where Neubergthal’s school once stood.

H. F. Hamm House

The H. F. Hamm House was built in the 1880s for Johann and Anna Hamm. It is an important example of a traditional Mennonite vernacular-style residence. Originally it had an attached barn with four rooms, and housed three families.

Herdsman’s House

The Herdsman's House, constructed in the 1880s, is the only remaining dwelling of its type in Manitoba. A herdsmans job was to gather the village cows in the morning, herd them to the pasture for the day, and bring back in the evening for milking. The structure's basic materials and standardized floor plan reflects simplicity, order and a focus on utility.
