Two families, one shared history


Originally owned by the Inkster and Ross families, Seven Oaks House and Ross House
​are the two oldest homes remaining in Winnipeg.

These sister museums offer an immersive picture of daily life in the 19th century,
presented through the eyes of two Scottish-Métis families.
Visit the stately country manor of wealthy traders, and the middle class home of a respected single mother.


​Both historic sites are conveniently located along the iconic Red River.
​Just follow Main St. north from downtown Winnipeg.
