Administrative history

In 1999 Delbert Plett of Hanover Steinbach Historical Society suggested that the MMHS organize an event at the Forks in Winnipeg -- the original landing site of Mennonite immigrants in 1874. Ken Reddig chaired the committee that organized the commemorative event at the Forks. Other committee members included Lawrence Klippenstein, Conrad Stoesz, Adolf Ens, and Irene Kroeker. Some MMHS members were also involved in writing articles for a special newspaper insert in the Winnipeg Free Press. In 2000 the committee was chaired by Conrad Stoesz with members Lawrence Klippenstein, Ed Hoeppner, Ken Reddig, and Adolf Ens. Activities that year included a newspaper insert in the rural papers, radio heritage vignettes, a Post Road bus tour, and an event at Fort Dufferin (near Emerson), all commemorating the 125th anniversary of the arrival of the first Mennonite immigrants to the Mennonite West Reserve in 1875.
