Historic Sites of Manitoba: Convent of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary / Saint-Pierre-Jolys Museum (432 Joubert Street, St-Pierre-Jolys)

The museum in St-Pierre-Jolys is housed in a former convent belonging to Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary. The convent building, constructed in 1900 on plans by architect J-A. Senecal, eventually closed and was sold to private ownership. Purchased by a local committee in 1986, the building was refurbished and opened each year as a local museum between July and August. In 1989, it became a provincially-designed historic site.
