As the district was becoming
settled between 1880 and 1890, there was a boom in new railway line
construction across western Manitoba.
Pendennis was a small village on
the C.P.R branch line from Brandon to Lenore, established in 1902.
It
replaced an earlier community / post office of that name at the
crossing of the Little Saskatchewan River to the west.
The
station was purchased in 1963 and used as a grain bin until the museum
was established.
The
museum displays included a selection of photos of the general store,
the school, the elevator, and the station at the village site.
