Musée Dawson Trail Museum - Richer, Manitoba
Preserving a piece of the past along the Historic Dawson Trail
The current Musée Dawson Trail Museum building has been a beacon in the community of Richer and surrounding area along the historic Dawson Trail since 1913.
When first constructed it served as a church for over 80 years but in 2014 the transition began of converting it into the Musée Dawson Trail Museum, Corporation Du Site Historique Enfant-Jesus Heritage Site Corporation.
Since this time the primary focus has been updating the building, bringing it up to code, and working on basic exhibit displays. The Museum is operated by a board of eight local volunteers who have contributed over 40,000 volunteer hours to date.
The time has come for the Museum to begin delivering programs to our members and surrounding communities in support of the museum’s primary goal; “To engage with the surrounding communities, share stories, expand knowledge and encourage discovery”.
