This photo is of the June 1973 delegates safari at the old fort Garry wall and entrance, on Main street near the Forks, Winnipeg. Through the entrance there are people sitting and listening to a man talking into a microphone. The microphones are from radio station CFAM and CHSM. On the fort wall the inscription reads: "Near this site stood the following Forts: Fort Rouge, under La Verendrye, 1738; Fort Gibraltar, of the North West Company, 1810 became Fort Garry of the Hudson's Bay Company, 1822; replaced by Upper Fort Garry, of stone begun 1835, extended in 1850's when this gateway was erected, demolished 1882."
This photo is of the monument erected in 1951 at the corner of highway 30 and provincial road number 243 to commemorate the Mennonites who settled the West Reserve, Manitoba in the 1870s. The inscription says: "This monument was erected on the seventy-fifth anniversary of the arrival of the Mennonite pioneers west of the Red River. It commemorates the faith and sacrifices of the early settlers who braved the wild treeless plains shunned by earlier immigrants. The peace and prosperity that these pioneers and their descendants have enjoyed here and the Post Road which marked by stakes started at Emerson passed this site at that time a stopping place and ran westward through the settlement." The monument was erected on the Schellenberg property which was in the village of Neuanlage. This site has been known as cairn corner.
This photo is of the Heinrich Wiebe headstone and 75th anniversary cairn at "cairn corner" on the former David Schellenberg yard in the former village of Neuanlage near present day Gretna, Manitoba on the corner of Highway 30 and provincial road number 243.
