This museum in Hamiota, in the Municipality of Hamiota, was organized in 1959, with the first building erected three years later with the purpose “to collect, preserve and display objects, artifacts and materials relating to the settlement and development of the district.”
A second building, a former third-class Canadian National Railway station dating from 1909, was moved from the nearby McConnell and restored. The United Church building from Oakner, which closed in June 2000 after operating for more than 90 years, from brought to the museum in early 2002.
Also at the museum are two plaques. One commemorates the 2000 induction of the McConnell Baseball Team into the Manitoba Baseball Hall of Fame. The other is for the 100th anniversary of the 4-H Club in Canada and the club at McConnell, established in 1922, the longest active club in Canada.
