The building itself is of historical significance, not only because it is Winnipeg’s oldest building, but also because it is the largest remaining traditional oak log structure in North America. A statue commemorating Louis Riel by Franco-Manitoban artist Réal Bérard is displayed in front of the museum which also features a nationally renowned collection of artifacts related to Riel’s life.

Pick up a Voyageur or Métis souvenir. The souvenir and gift shop is located in the historic St. Boniface museum, the oldest building in the City of Winnipeg.
