The Winnipegosis Historical Society is celebrating the 125th anniversary of the Winnipegosis Museum Building this Friday, September 16th. The building was originally the CN station for the area, and Society President Jo Bunka says that's one thing that makes it so special.
"In 1897, this station, it's called a Type A Station was built to serve the general public, as well as to be a residence to the station agent and his family."
Bunka says the celebrations get underway at 2 p.m. on Friday, with lots planned for the afternoon.
"At 2 o'clock we're sort of having a bit of a formal greeting coming from different sectors of our community. We are partnered with the local Muddy Water Metis Group, and they are going to have a display beside our teepee, they're providing entertainment. We're going to hold free tours, people can come and see the museum, but mostly, we're celebrating a wonderful building."
The Historical Society will also be providing some light refreshments for those in attendence.
