McDougall House
3514 Pembina Highway

Mcdougall house was constructed in 1883, for a Metis widow and her sons who chose to relocate along the Red River following the turmoil surrounding the Red River Rebellion and the formation of the Province of Manitoba. It is constructed of spruce logs secured together with dovetail joints. In its original setting the building probably rested on a wooden foundation, with a single room on the first floor and three bedrooms on the second. Several changes were made to the home including the removal of the front veranda, and the addition of wood siding and stucco. Mrs. Mcdougall's son Francois-Daniel remained in the home until his death in 1902, and his daughter Alexina Manaigre lived in the house until 1965. In more recent years the home was moved to an historic theme park in St. Norbet.
