The building was erected in 1902, in Roland in the Rural Municipality of Roland, by the Bank of Hamilton. The Royal Bank came to Roland in 1925 and, after amalgamating with the Union Bank, moved into the building in the early 1930s. It was deeded to the Rural Municipality of Roland in 1989 for use of 4-H. The organization celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1963 and at that time a monument was erected beside the municipal hall recognizing Roland as the home of Canadian 4-H. Another monument, presented by the Manitoba 4-H Council, was erected by the museum in 2000.
