Dalnavert Museum
Dalnavert
An 1895 Victorian red-brick mansion once owned by a son of Prime Minister Macdonald, offering a full picture of upper-class household life in late-19th-century Winnipeg.
Dalnavert was the residence of Hugh John Macdonald, son of Canada's first Prime Minister, John A. Macdonald. Built in 1895, it was one of the first homes in the city to have electric lighting, central heating and indoor plumbing. The house is furnished as it was in 1895, and guided tours explain Victorian daily life, the servants' quarters and the kitchen. Admission is about C$10, and opening hours are limited. It is a few blocks southeast of the Legislative Building.
