Ross House Museum

Areal gem just minutes from the city centre.

Nice to see our past

Staff on hand to share the history of this house built in 1853 with only hand tools.

Loved the community location and the 19th century homey feeling

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. A hidden gem in the city to visit.

Go for the visit. Great way to spend some time.

Very interesting and neat. Everyone is very pleasant and helpful to answer questions, when going for a tour.

It big part of Winnipeg history

After months of Putin building up tens of thousands of troops near the Ukrainian border and a series of failed diplomatic talks, Russia is now waging a full-out war on Ukraine.Tensions escalated quickly when, on February 21, Putin delivered an hour-long combative speech that essentially denied Ukrainian statehood. He recognized the independence of two breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine where Moscow has backed a separatist rebellion since 2014 and sent so-called peacekeeping forces into the region. As experts said, that was likely just the beginning, setting the stage for a much larger conflict.Days later, that larger conflict materialized. On February 24, Putin announced he was launching an assault “to defend people who for eight years are suffering persecution and genocide by the Kyiv regime,” a reference to a false claim about the government in Ukraine. Putin claimed that the Russian military seeks “demilitarization and denazification” but not occupation. He demanded Ukraine lay down its weapons or be “responsible for bloodshed.”Soon after Putin’s speech, reports emerged of explosions around cities, including Kharkiv in eastern Ukraine and the capital Kyiv. The Ukrainian foreign minister called it “a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.” By the afternoon in Ukraine, Russian troops and tanks had entered the country on three fronts: from Belarus in the north, from the east of Ukraine, and from the south.

Nice little museum. Tour was about 40 minutes. The focus is on the Ross family, early Scottish/Metis settlers in the mid 1800's.
