Seven Oaks House Museum, House museum in Winnipeg, Canada

Seven Oaks House Museum is a house museum in Winnipeg displaying a two-story log building made from oak logs that represents typical 1850s settlement homes in Manitoba. The structure contains original furnishings, household items, and personal belongings that document how residents lived during that era.

John Inkster, born in Scotland in 1799, arrived in the Northwest in 1821 as a Hudson's Bay Company servant and became a Red River farmer. He built Seven Oaks House from 1851 to 1853 as owner, architect and builder. He served on the Council of Assiniboia from 1857 to 1868 and was appointed to Louis Riel's Provisional Government during the Red River Resistance, though illness kept him from participating. The family owned the property until 1912, when it was donated to Winnipeg.

Seven Oaks takes its name from a nearby creek where seven large oaks once stood, marking the site of the 1816 Battle of Seven Oaks. The house was built for John Inkster, a Scottish-born merchant who married Mary Sinclair, daughter of an HBC chief factor, and the restored rooms hold furnishings, some original, from the family's time. The property stayed with the Inkster family until 1912, when it was given to the City of Winnipeg as a park and museum.

The museum opens seasonally from the May-long weekend to Labour Day, Wednesday to Sunday, 10am to 4pm. Both restored dwellings, the 1851–1853 house and the earlier store, can be seen on guided tours, and admission is by donation. The buildings sit on their original foundations, with much of the surrounding homestead left undeveloped.

Inkster's General Store, built c.1826–1831, is the oldest surviving building in Winnipeg. Originally a two-room cottage, it was renovated around 1853 to serve as a general store and post office, and it shows rare Red River Frame (post-and-plank) construction.
