The Manitoba Agricultural Museum has been celebrating the Christmas season with its annual Christmas Homesteaders’ Village event at Austin.
For more than five years the group celebrates the season with the annual event to give attendees a glimpse into the lives of the early rural pioneers on the weekends leading up to Christmas.
For many in the area it’s become an annual tradition to attend one of the evening tours. Photographer Sandy Black attended this year and captured these images.
