Summer is a wonderful time to connect with friends and family and it’s a great time to plan an organized trip to Mennonite Heritage Village.

May is an exciting month here at the Mennonite Heritage Village! On May 1st at 9am, our heritage buildings in the Village got unlocked for the first time in the spring season.

I was drawn to Mennonite Heritage Village because of my own family history. Raised a Mennonite in Jantsied, I grew up eating forma vorscht and schmaunt fat.
