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.
