St. Vital Historical Society, Historical museum in St. Vital, Manitoba
The St. Vital Museum occupies a two-story red brick structure at 600 St. Mary's Road, featuring exhibits about local development and firefighting history.
Built in 1914, the building served as both a fire hall and police station, using horse-drawn carriages until acquiring its first motorized truck in 1923.
The museum preserves artifacts from early settlers, including Victor Mager's handwritten diary and records about Abraham Guay and the St. Germain family.
Visitors can explore the museum from Tuesday to Saturday between 10 AM and 4 PM, with modified schedules during winter months.
The collection includes a 1939 Fargo Pumper truck from the St. Vital Fire Brigade and master tapes donated by the rock band The Guess Who.
