Before Manitoba: Buildings that predate the province

Before Manitoba was created and became Canada’s fifth province in 1870, churches and forts were already shaping life on the prairies. While most of those early structures have long since disappeared—lost to fire, flood, redevelopment, or neglect—several still stand today, offering a glimpse of what life was once like in the past.

Built by former Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) employees, settlers, missionaries, Métis and First Nations peoples, some of these original structures are now museums, while others still retain their original purpose more than 150 years later.

Many of these buildings are designated as provincial heritage sites, recognized as national historic sites, or listed as municipal heritage resources—or in some cases, all three.
