The Objects We Hold Dear: Material Culture Among Kanadier Mennonites, Saturday, January 5, 2025, 1:00-9:00pm

The Manitoba Mennonite Historical Society’s EastMenn Historical Committee is hosting its annual meeting on Saturday, January 25, 2025, at the Mennonite Heritage Village (MHV) in Steinbach!

Join us as we explore the material culture of the Kanadier Mennonite settlers who immigrated to Manitoba during the 1870s. Together, we’ll consider the values and stories behind the objects that shaped their lives and helped build a community in Manitoba.

The day will include a variety of activities, including a historic artifact show-and-tell, exclusive tour of the MHV’s vault, and a keynote lecture from Dr. Roland Sawatzky.
