Located in Abbotsford, BC, the Mennonite Heritage Museum is a place to learn extensively about local and international Mennonite history. They are open weekdays from 10am to 3pm, feature a kitchen to try Mennonite cuisine and have a gift shop with books, shirts and other things for sale.
From their website:
The Mennonite Heritage Museum is owned by the Mennonite Museum Society. Established in 2011, the goals of the Society are:
- to engage present and future generations with the Mennonite story through a variety of mediums, including both permanent and temporary exhibits, films, and interactive digital displays;
- to preserve and document the history of Mennonites who came to British Columbia from Russia and Prussia/Poland by maintaining an historical library and an archives;
- to emphasize the important role that agriculture has played in the lives of Mennonites throughout history, and amongst Mennonites in the Fraser Valley today.
