This lovingly cared for little museum in Rosthern tells the story of the Mennonite community's early commitment to the preservation of its identity through education. The building was the German-English Academy until 1963, established to provide instruction in English, to preserve the German language, and to maintain the Mennonite religion and way of life. It was superseded by a larger building next door. The first Mennonite settlers arrived in Rosthern in 1891.
