Archibald Museum

The museum was surrounded by several historical buildings that have been relocated and restored. The museum was founded by the William Wallcraft. The museum was located two miles east of La Riviere and four miles north off No. 3 highway, in the Rural Municipality of Pembina.

Two of the buildings are particularly significant as Nellie McClung, a Canadian feminist, resided in them.[1]
