The Grandview Community Museum complex may be Manitoba's best kept secret!

Established in 1973, the Watson-Crossley Community Museum continues to grow with something of interest for all age groups. The extensive collection in the complex depicts typical late 19th century and early 20th century living in the Grandview area and represents home and lifestyle of our prairie ancestors.
