What to expect
The Fort la Reine Museum is a large museum comprising over 25 buildings, including homes, offices, schools, churches, and a general store. The museum showcases the lifestyle of a prairie community from 1738 to 1950, with period items and furnishings. Some of the notable buildings include the Hamilton House, now known as the Paul House, and the Philip Hourie House, which is part of Manitoba's 'Farm of the Century'. The museum also features a collection of Allis-Chalmers farm equipment, a railway car once used by William C. Van Horne, and a military history display. The museum is wheelchair accessible, with accessible washrooms and change tables, although some buildings may not be due to their historic nature
