3 LOOK BACK AT EARLY PRAIRIE LIFE At the turn of the 20th century, Brandon was a hub for trade and commerce as the Prairies were settled and Canada expanded west. There is no better classroom about early pioneer life than Daly House Museum, the Victorian-style stone home of Brandon's first mayor. A guided interpretive tour is eye-opening for school- aged kids as they learn about old-fashioned technology such as the phonograph in the parlour and ice box in the kitchen. The Brandon General Museum & Archives is another important stop to learn about civic history as well as southwestern Manitoba's natural history at the BJ Hales taxidermy exhibit.

Multicultural cuisine is also on every corner — take your pick of Chili Chutney for Indian, Sabor Latino for El Salvadorian, Tana's for Ethiopian or Mariachi for Mexican.
