Open from mid-May to the Labour Day weekend in September, Riel House National Historic Site makes the most of the summer, offering a variety of interpretive programming for our visitors.
All interpretive activities are available in English and French.
Other activities include traditional games, pemmican making, fingerweaving, beadwork, pottery, tallow candle making and much more. We encourage interested participants to book early to avoid disappointment. Guided tours are available during the summer. A bilingual tour guide in historic dress will take you through the yard and gardens of the site. Today, the less extensive gardens are actively cultivated and illustrate for visitors which flowers and vegetables were grown in the late 19th century.
