The Goulet log house was built by Moïse Goulet around 1870. The log house displays a style reminiscent of the homes of French Canadians in the Red River Valley at that time. It was a regular stop for traveling salesmen of the era.
A visit to Manitoba means travelling through Treaty 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 territory and communities signatory to Treaties 6 and 10, the original lands of the Anishinaabeg, Anish-Ininiwak, Dakota, Dené, Iiniwak, and Nehethowuk and the homeland of the Métis Nation. Its ongoing existence is thanks to these ancestors and their present day relatives who continue to love and care for the land.
