Lower Fort Garry, Manitoba

A few pictures taken at Lower Fort Garry, a National Historic Park near Winnipeg.

Many of the artifacts, such as this large water cooler, were imported from Britain.


Some lovely blue and white china


A "Red River Cart". It is said that the sound of squeaking wheels could be heard for miles.
