I La Maison Gabrielle-Roy, a museum in the childhood home of French Canadian writer, Gabrielle Roy, considered one of the most important Francophone writers in Canadian history, and one of the most influential Canadian writers!
Such a wonder to have such an amazing little museum, in Saint Boniface, the humble start to a magnificent life and legacy of a woman who was a teacher, a writer and a relevant and incredible legend.

Miami Railway Station Museum
Miami, Manitoba
The Miami Railway Station Museum holds a special place in my heart. My family immigrated to Canada in 1882 and settle in Miami, Manitoba. It was a hard life, scarce supplies, much sickness and despair, and yet my family survived and grew. Many of my relatives worked for the railway, helped build the railway and several of them, my great grand parents included, are buried nearby in the Miami cemetery.

Lower Fort Garry is a National historic site that was built in 1830 by the Hudsons Bay Company on the western banks of the Red River, 32km north of the original Fort Garry. Lower Fort Garry is where Treaty 1 was signed. The Lower Fort did trade a small amount of furs, its main purpose was as a supply depot for the Red River settlement and the surrounding Cree, Anishinaabe, Métis, and European (mostly Orkney Scot) populations.
