The History – Part 1 –
Everyone and Every Place has a story – The Dalnavert Museum is not any different. If only those walls could talk….
Originally built in 1895 The Dalnavert Museum was the home of Sir Hugh J. MacDonald and his family. Hugh was the only son of the First Prime Minister of Canada, John A. MacDonald.
This week on episode 21, our Audio Curators, Jas and Sher record LIVE From the veranda of the Prestigious Dalnavert Museum for Doors Open Winnipeg 2019! This year also marks the 100 year anniversary of the infamous Winnipeg General Strike – 1919 to 2019, in which Sir Hugh MacDonald played a role in the opposition of said strike. The gals explore all the history and mystery that lies beyond the restored red brick walls of the most beautiful Victorian home in the city, which is now funded, operated and supported by The Friends of the Dalnavert foundation. Please see their website for more details and on how you can help to keep this house alive www.friendsofdalnavert.ca
Aside from telling stories about the lives of the MacDonalds, the original home occupants, Jas and Sher also discuss how Ghost Stories at Christmastime not Halloween, was the main source of entertainment during the Victorian era.
