Winkler Heritage Museum now open!
The Winkler Heritage Museum is now open in the north west corner of the Southland Mall. Here is a photo of a recent donation to the museum. It is a model replica of the train station in Winkler. Underneath is a picture of the actual CPR depot, built in 1898 and demolished in 1972.
Stones and Stories
The Heritage Society has embarked on a project to preserve history from our local cemeteries. The project is entitled Stones and Stories and Arnie Neufeld and Bruce Wiebe continue to inventory all of the grave markers in the Winkler Cemetery. They are also collecting photos and obituaries of all of those buried there. To contribute, contact Arnie Neufeld at arnieneufeld@mts.net
