BEAUSEJOUR PIONEER VILLAGE MUSEUM
Established in 1967, the Pioneer Village Museum recreates a small pioneer village. The village contains a log house, school, community hall, Canadian Pacific Railway Station, store, blacksmith shop and a Ukrainian Church with a bell tower. Most pioneers in this region were of Polish, Ukrainian, or German descent coming from the areas known as Galacia and Volhynia. These pioneers had to face many hardships in adapting to the wilderness, a new country and a new way of life. Many artifacts depicting the lifestyle of the early pioneers are located in these buildings.

Hours of operation are July and August 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. on weekdays and 1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. weekends and holidays. Off season tours are also available.

MANITOBA GLASS WORKS HISTORICAL SITE
Manitoba Glass Works Historic Site The Manitoba Glass Works Historic Site is the site of the first glass container factory in Western Canada. It was built in 1906 by Joseph Keilback and his partners. Glass-blowers from Poland and the United States, aided by local labor, used silica sands to produce bottles for breweries and soft drink companies in Winnipeg, which served the prairie market. Semi-automatic machines were soon installed to increase production. Winnipeg businessmen took over and enlarged the plant between 1909 and 1911. The new company expanded its production to include jars, medicine and ink bottles. At its peak it employed 350 workers.

This historic site is situated at the south end of Glass Lake on First Street. It is open for public viewing throughout the summer months. Over the years, when participating in public digs, archeologists have found ink bottles, glass pieces and tools.
