Dalnavert Museum and Visitors’ Centre
Built in 1895, Dalnavert Museum is a small Victorian mansion nestled in the heart of Winnipeg’s downtown on Treaty One territory and in the heart of the national homeland of the Red River Métis. This unique museum features a “day in the life” feel as it transports you back in time to the 19th century the second you step inside.
