Mennonite Heritage Museum – Discover Mennonite Culture in Abbotsford
The Mennonite Heritage Museum in Abbotsford, British Columbia, is a special place that shares the history and culture of Mennonite people. It is located in the beautiful Fraser Valley and is open to everyone who wants to learn more about this unique community.
The museum tells the story of the Mennonites, a group of Christian people who first came from Europe, then moved through Russia, and later settled in Canada. The displays show how Mennonites lived, what they believed, and how they worked hard to build new lives in places like Abbotsford.
Inside the museum, you will find photos, old books, clothing, tools, and farming equipment. These items help show how Mennonite families lived in the past. There are also displays about their faith, traditions, and how they helped shape local communities.
The museum has a gallery, a bookstore, and a cozy Mennonite café that serves homemade soups, baked goods, and traditional Mennonite food. The staff and volunteers are friendly and happy to explain the exhibits or answer your questions.
The Mennonite Historical Society of BC manages the museum. There is also an archive and library for people who want to do more research about Mennonite history or family roots.
The museum is open year-round and has free admission. It also hosts special events, book launches, and educational programs for schools and families. Whether you are from a Mennonite background or just curious, this museum is a warm and welcoming place to learn.
