Winnipeg's Oldest Home: |
Seven Oaks House Museum |
Seven Oaks House is the oldest home remaining in Winnipeg. It was built in 1851-53 for John and Mary (Sinclair) Inkster, the heads of an influential Scottish-Métis family in the Red River Settlement.
Their first log farm house (c.1831) still stands nearby and is among the oldest buildings in Manitoba.
Today their restored homestead and its stunning examples of Red River architecture invite visitors to step back in time, and experience life as it was for a family in the 19th century.
Seven Oaks House Museum is now closed for the season, outside of special events.
We will reopen in May, 2025
May 18th - September 1, 2024
10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Admission is by donation.
