Manitobans have inherited a rich legacy from the past. The links to the past include our natural landscapes, heritage sites, and landmark buildings, as well as the knowledge, ideas, and traditions of our ancestors. Manitoba has protected many of its most important provincial heritage sites and commemorated significant people and events with plaques at these locations. These have been designated as Manitoba Heritage Sites. As of 2009 there are 121 such sites in the province. As I travel thoughout the province and come across these important historical sites I will add them to this web page.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb& P# p) d! i2 h* I# G2 L. m% L

Darlingford Memorial and Park, Darlingfordtvb now,tvbnow,bttvb9 u, A9 |4 P' B& e" J; G

The magnitude of human loss and suffering during the Great War resulted in the erection of memorial cenotaphs, statuary and tablets throughout Manitoba. In 1921 Darlingford and the surrounding district commemorated their military efforts by constructing this small Gothic-inspired memorial building and park. It is the only free-standing memorial building in Manitoba with the sole function of commemorating the war dead. Inside the memorial, two black marble tablets bear the names of the 199 local veterans and victims of World Wars I and II. The tranquil setting of the memorial and park evokes a spirit of hope and remembrance in stark contrast with the battlefields of Europe. It was the inspiration of Ferris Bolton, a pioneer farmer and politician from Darlingford, whose three sons were killed in France in 1917. The memorial was designed by Arthur A. Stoughton, the first head of the School of Architecture, University of Manitoba. The Morden Experimental Farm designed and landscaped the park. Dr. W.R. Leslie, the Farm's superintendent, tended the park for many years. tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb5 s1 u, [+ @$ V: _* [

Minnedosa Agricultural Society Display Building, Minnedosa Heritage Village5.39.217.768 Y4 |. ^* D! B3 L) n3 H

By providing a showcase for local agricultural innovation and new farming technologies, agricultural societies, and the fairs they organized, were an important element in the success of Manitoba's agricultural community. The annual agricultural fair was also a vital social institution, often second in importance only to the church for facilitating interaction and hosting community events.

Constructed in 1904, the Old Minnedosa Agricultural Society Display Building is a good example of the type. Its open interior spaces provided ample space for the display of displays and products. The standard construction seen outside-wood frame-is exposed inside, where exposed rafters in the cupola create a visually complex structure. The Display Building is one of only a few remaining Manitoba buildings designed on an octagonal plan. That eight-sided plan was very popular between 1880 and 1910, especially in the United States. The form was thought to be more efficient than rectangular plans, both in terms of construction costs and in providing better ventilation and lighting. While used on all manners of buildings-houses, farm outbuildings, public buildings-in Manitoba the octagon was seen mostly on a few barns and display buildings. 6 v+ |) f% H( B: d* N' J/ c
