Ross House Museum
The first post office in Western Canada

About Ross House

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.
