We joined the people at Steinbach Mennonite Brethren church on Sunday morning for church. Afterwards we went to the Mennonite Heritage Village for lunch; pierogies, farmer sausage, and more.
The village is set up in the style that the Mennonites used in Russia, with the homes, stores, school and other services in the central village withth farm land laid out in long strips behind each of the homes. We saw a couple of house-barns that were fashioned after those found in Holland and Russia. The displays included a section of the Berlin Wall that represents yet another time when Mennonites fled for fear of persecution.
On the drive back to Winnipeg we stopped to take pics of fields of sunflowers and the longitudinal centre of Canada-a fact we didn’t know.
