Village News

Before we move headlong into 2013, let’s take some time to review some of the significant events and experiences at Mennonite Heritage Village in 2012.

In Karla Braun’s most recent editorial in the MB Herald, the publication of the Canadian Mennonite Brethren Conference, she writes about her experiences in a small-town high school.

Mennonite Heritage Village was incorporated in 1964 as the culmination of several years of dreaming, planning and preparation by the Manitoba Mennonite Historical Society.

Last weekend we closed the MHV Festival Season with Touch of Christmas, our final festival event.

Every artifact at Mennonite Heritage Village, even such seemingly commonplace objects as a chisel or sewing basket, can offer an extraordinary insight into the past.

Nita and Marigold would like to inform everyone about the new music CDs that arrived on November 16th.

It seemed to me that people attending the MHV Auxiliary’s Film Night last week had rich experiences. The theme was “The Women’s Burden Under Stalin,” which was also the name of the Otto Klassen film presented that evening.

Mennonite Heritage Village (Canada) Inc. is a child of the Manitoba Mennonite Historical Society.

Touch of Christmas is our last festival in the 2012 season. This festival will take place on November 30 and December 1.

Last weekend Stuart McLean, host of the CBC radio program The Vinyl Cafe, told a story which reflected the horrors of war and also remembered the significant sacrifices which many individuals and families have made during times of war.
