St. Vital Historical Society, Historical museum in St. Vital, Manitoba

The St. Vital Historical Society is a museum housed in a two-story red brick building that documents the area's development and firefighting history. The building contains a collection of vehicles, tools, and objects showing how residents once managed their daily lives and community needs.

The two-storey fire hall was built in 1914 and housed both the St. Vital Police and Fire Departments. It was designated a heritage building in 1982. The St. Vital Historical Society was established in 1994, and the museum opened in the building on 24 May 2008.

The building shows how early residents of the area lived and worked, with exhibits presenting everyday items and personal stories from families who shaped the community. Objects on display tell the stories of people whose legacies remain visible today.

The museum is open several days a week and allows visitors to walk through the compact building and view exhibits at their own pace. It helps to check seasonal opening hours before visiting, as these may change during winter months.

The museum's main attraction is a fire truck from 1939, kept in the former fire hall that housed the St. Vital police and fire departments from 1914. In 2018 the Winnipeg rock band The Guess Who donated master tapes and videos from their career, now part of the collection.
