Fond Childhood Memory

The visit to Riel House was such a delight, 30+ years later I still remember the elementary days of visiting this site, making bannock and churning butter, and the story telling and antique costumes of the simple days. It is a very nice place to bring your young ones to visit, especially on a beautiful summer day!
Really Interesting

I went here a few years ago with my Dad and it was really cool. The tour guides were super nice and did a great job!
Enjoyable
