Ross House is one of the oldest homes in Winnipeg, and it served as the first official Post Office in Western Canada. It was built in 1854 for William and Jemima Ross, members of a prominent Métis family in the Red River Settlement.
Their carefully restored log home now offers visitors an immersive look into daily life in early Manitoba.



Ross House Museum is now closed for the season.
We will reopen in June, 2025

June 1 to August 24, 2024​
10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Wednesday - Sunday



Admission is by donation.
​Drop-in tours are available during open hours.
Please contact us to schedule group tours and walking tours.
