Visit Steinbach, located 30 mi/50 km southeast of Winnipeg, to see the 40-acre/16-hectare Mennonite Heritage Village, which documents the lives of early Mennonite settlers.
Enjoy wandering through the village's restored prairie-sod house (called a semlin), print shop and blacksmith's shop. Be sure to have lunch at the restaurant, which serves such Mennonite specialties as pluma moos (a cold fruit soup), varenyky (dumplings stuffed with cottage cheese) and platz (a rhubarb crumb pie).
In August, the town pays tribute to Mennonite settlers with the Pioneer Days festival. https://mennoniteheritagevillage.com.
