Village News

Mennonite Heritage Village (MHV) is known for many things, including, old farm equipment, horse-drawn wagon rides, old-fashioned candy and thousands of artefacts which tell the story of the first Mennonites who settled in southern Manitoba.

Mennonite Heritage Village is turning the corner from summer to fall with a sense of gratitude.

The MHV Tractor Drive fundraiser is in its 16th year! This year the event has been planned for Saturday, September 6th.

One of the best-selling books at Village Books and Gifts is ‘The Mennonite Treasury of Recipes’ published by Derksen Printers many decades ago.

On August 16, the Mennonite Heritage Village and Eden Foundation hosted a cycling fundraising event, the Peace Trek, which utilizes several points of historical interest for the early Mennonite settlers to southern Manitoba.

This past weekend, Mennonite Heritage Village hosted the annual Pioneer Days festival and along with the great weather, came thousands of guests.

Pioneer Days has been an annual celebration in Steinbach since Mennonite Heritage Village opened as a museum 61 years ago.

I walked into Mennonite Heritage Village (MHV) for my first day of work on March 4, 2014, excited and nervous about the challenge, knowing I had big shoes to fill from my predecessor, Roland Sawatzky.
