Is just so cool to get to know more about the Mennonite culture and how they influenced the Christianity history. If come to Abbotsford this museum is definitely the right place to go and visit
We had a wonderful time exploring this museum, learning about the history of the Mennonite people. The museum is well organized and very informative. The Mennonite Heritage Society upstairs provide an excellent service to people of Mennonite heritage in researching their family history.
Useful and articulate summary of history of Mennonite faith and culture ... although not geared for those who are not prepared to stand and read the display boards. Visitors with some connection to their Russian ancestry will be rewarded with insights into their own background. This is a relatively new museum and deserving of a visit. Didn't sample anything at the cafe however the food appeared appealing and affordable
A really interesting museum looking at the history and beliefs of the Russian Mennonites. Mennonites suffered terribly under the cruel hands of Josef Stalin, many dying in two separate man-made famines. Much like other migrants fleeing persecution, these Mennonites weren't always welcome in Canada.
Dealing well with Covid
My only complaint is the very limited menu. Oh, and coffee was sub-par. But the exhibits were really well done, if a little basic with the level of information. A good addition might be to contrast Mennonite beliefs with other protestant groups to make clear how courageous the Anabaptists were and are.
The history of the Mennonites is well-organized for a self-guided tour, and there is someone standing by to answer questions. (The food is delicious.)
