Business sessions were augmented by a touch of Mennonite architecture and the arts, quartet singing, an author reading and snacks. There was also historical significance in the meeting site, since MHV is an offshoot of the historical society. Curator Roland Sawatzky noted ongoing events at the Village, such as its May MCC theme, highlighting "quilts, war and women making a difference" in the Gallery. Sawatzky also summarized his PhD dissertation entitled Author James Urry at book signing. "The Control of Social Space in Mennonite Housebarns of - Photos by Bert Friesen Manitoba, 1874-1940."

  • The Herdsman's House – Neubergthal
    Heritage Posting 1 No. 75 June 2013 The Herdsman’s House – Neubergthal by Margruite Krahn In 1998 when Paul and I purchased the John P Klippenstein property, it was the barn that caught our attention, and the reason for our move to Neubergthal. Shortly after settling onto the property we learned of the value of another building on the property, the village herdsman’s house. The knowledge that this was the only remaining dwelling of its type in Manitoba, meant we had to make a decision we hadn’t expected to stabilize and later restore the structure. What we have come to learn from written research and the oral tradition of local residents, is that this three room ca.1890’s wood frame structure was initially a herdsman’s house in Gnadenthal, and moved to Neubergthal in ca.1900. All indications are that it was also used as the village herdsman’s house in Neubergthal. “Sometime after the village agreement ended (1909), the transition away from the communal pasture and herdsman occurred, and each village farmer pastured their own cattle. Perhaps this Herdsman’s House and Krahn Barn ( built by P. J. was as early as 1912, as that was when Peter Klippenstein Klippenstein in 1929) established the yard on which the house hold thatching. ”(Prairie Settlement Patterns, L.
