There are very few examples of early
Métis homes or buildings in modern day Manitoba and Ross
house is one of those. It was the first post office in
western Canada as well as serving as he residence of the
Ross family. It
might not have survived if not for the vigilance of the
Manitoba Historic Society which saved it from
destruction in 1949 and has managed its survival ever
since. After several moves it ended up at the Joe Zuken
Heritage Park where it is on permanent display.
The house was build of Oak timber and
many of the items in it are authentic artifacts from the
Métis period.
