Around The World---Mennonite Village

So todays picture goes back to 1988. We had made our way out to Otterborne Manitoba to attend Melody's brothers college graduation. Winnipeg Bible College and Seminary , now called Providence Seminary, is located in the samll Mennonite town of Otterborne which is just a short distance from Winnipeg. Near by is the Historical Mennonite Village. I really enjoy these outdoor museums where you can go back in time and experience what life was like many decades ago

[bkb in the city]

@kimshots Wow, thanks for those very kind words Kim

[Diane]

This is a neat photo, with the leading lines of the fence and road. I also like outdoor history museums. I've always admired the Mennonites as people who live what they believe--there was a community of traditional Mennonites in Virginia where we lived in 1972-1977. And here in Baton Rouge, they founded a center that worked for peace and justice issues.

[Kimberly Balychev]

Amazingly peaceful looking place :) where I grew up was a very large amish and mennonite community ;) I love their simple lifestyle :)

[Terry]

Love that fence

[bkb in the city]

@eudora They really do a lot of good for so many people

[bkb in the city]

@kbalychev There is certainly something to be said about it for sure

[bkb in the city]

@sarasdadandmom Glad you enjoyed this one

[Jerri]

fascinating. i would love to go back in time as well brian. the tones really match the subject matter well.

[Paula]

Beautifully composed - and I remember the outdoor museums being one of my favourite parts about road trips as well.

[Maaikel]

The Menonieten originaly came from Holland, and this looks like a typical Dutch farmhouse (and landscape!) Thank you for sharing all your travels with us, really joining it!

[bkb in the city]

@moreyoulessme Thanks Jerri

[bkb in the city]

@westcoastwallis Thanks Paula. They really are a lot of fun
