We will be participating this year at Upper Fort Garry and Dalnavert Museum.
The grand Dalnavert Museum will feature historically costumed members of Manitoba Living History Society.
Visit this outstanding historic home, attend a tea party, chat with the ladies and men folk and watch children play historic games.
Then promenade on Broadway from Dalnavert to Upper Fort Garry.
Manitoba Living History Society will be on site at both locations. You may begin your tour at Dalnavert, then take a gentle walk to the partner location at Upper Fort Garry and see Upper Fort Gate animated with people of the time period; speak with Hudson’s Bay Company’s governor of Rupert’s Land, Governor William MacTavish, watch historic artisan demonstrations, and visit the tipi with the first people of the Forks. The Manitoba Militia may also be in residence.
We look forward to seeing you!
