Mennonite Heritage Village, Cultural heritage museum in Steinbach, Canada
Description
Mennonite Heritage Village is a museum in Steinbach featuring both indoor galleries and an outdoor village with over 30 original buildings from the 1800s. The outdoor section includes a working windmill, farmhouses, and craft workshops that demonstrate how people lived and worked in rural areas.
History
The collection began in the 1960s when a local collector gathered historical objects and opened a small museum in a store on Main Street. This project grew into a larger facility that records the story of Mennonite migration to Canada.
Culture
The museum shows how Mennonites practiced their faith and craft traditions in daily life through household objects and clothing on display. Visitors see the skills and values that shaped how this community worked and lived together.
Practical
The indoor museum operates year-round, while the outdoor village is open seasonally during warmer months. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since there is plenty of walking and some paths are unpaved.
Did you know?
The grounds preserve an authentic section of the Berlin Wall that was brought to Canada after the wall fell. This artifact connects European history with the Mennonite story in a way most visitors do not anticipate.
