Last Friday, September 4, members of the Hillcrest Museum joined at the The Royal Canadian Legion # 60 at their meat draw, where we were presented with an incredibly generous $6,000 donation toward the Hillcrest Museum Restoration Project.

We are so grateful for this support. Every contribution brings us another step closer to preserving Hillcrest and ensuring this important piece of our community’s history is here for generations to come.

A huge thank you to the members for supporting Hillcrest and investing in our community’s history.🩷

As we close our doors for the season, we want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who visited, shared our stories, donated, volunteered, and supported Hillcrest this summer.

A very special thank you to our summer students, who welcomed visitors through our doors, cared for the museum and the grounds, shared its stories, and helped make another season possible. We are so grateful for the energy and care you brought to Hillcrest this summer.

Thank you for another wonderful season. See you in 2027!

We are offering a glimpse of what is possible!!

We’re kicking off our Hillcrest Museum restoration donation campaign, and this before and after shows the difference careful restoration can make. Thank you to the specialists Restoration Matters Winnipeg for helping us make this dream a reality!

This is just the beginning. With more windows and restoration work ahead, every donation will help us preserve the history and character of Hillcrest for generations to come.

Would you like to be part of Hillcrest’s restoration? Please feel free to reach out us to learn more about giving opportunities.

Thank you for helping us preserve this special piece of our community’s history.
