We go to the Threshermen's Reunion every year, and it's always a great show. Seeing the demonstrations and parade, everyone should go at least once to see how people used to farm it's very impressive.

Tons too see, took us a couple hours to get through everything. Excellent representation of how far the agricultural industry has come and how rural life back in the day used to be. This museum was great due to the fact that a lot of the exhibits still work, and you can actually put your hands on some of the exhibits, showcasing their humble origins and desire to make it all more accessible and interactive. The staff were also very friendly and showed a genuine enthusiasm for what they have which was nice.

We were here for the Threshermen's Reunion and Stampede. Wonderful show run by great volunteers who will answer your questions and full of knowledge on the equipment. Great demonstrations during the day, delicious food and drinks available. We enjoyed the Rodeo, great riders, and livestock.

Such an amazing place. What kind of collection. A place to see all antique agricultural supporting vehicles and processes. One of the very rare places to visit. Quiet an interesting place for adults and kids. If you are a mechanical or automobile engineer you will go crazy seeing such a wonderful old items. I loved the Grain elevator and Raulway station. Mesmerizing. Unfortunately they have missed the reunion a grand festival like Calgary stampede due to Covid. Next year for sure they can make it. Thanks to Vicky for wonderful souvenirs. I love to see more detailed descriptions and little more maintenance. For that they need more support from us. One and hour drive from Winnipeg. Still worth to visit.

A very beautiful collection of antique tractors and antique farming equipment. There were lots of cool old buildings you can go into and see. I only wish there was better direction. You pay a very reasonable admission but then they just turned me loose and told me to watch my kids as there was tractors moving around. No idea where I was supposed to be going, where to park, lack of information on what I was looking at.. the artifacts were there but the direction and information wasn’t and left us rather confused and wandering around lost.

Beautiful memories and cool machineries to view here. The generosity of the Carroter's family who made some huge donation to the museum is definitely commendable. This is a lovely place to visit

The Manitoba blacksmith guild held the bi annual event for CanIron here and it was the perfect place. Campground was nice and quiet with clean washrooms and showers near by. So much to see on the grounds with the historical the village and all the tractors.
Lando N — Google review
Had a great time during our visit to Thresherman’s Reunion. Except for an encounter we had at the Versatile display. A man named Darren Smith who claimed to be the director for the museum was very rude and downright disrespectful to my family and I.
