My father Felix, made history come alive for me each time we spoke of rural Manitoba and low and behold the first subject is a building not 5 miles from our home. Keep up the great work!
My mom used to teach in that school! Both my parents were teachers from 1945-1965. My dad taught in Wheatland at the army base when it was still in operation!
HMCS = Her Majesty’s Canadian Ship. This was a Navy Establishment manned by sailors many of whom never served at sea. I spent 2 years there in 1966/67 just before the base was closed and I was posted to HMCS Coverdale in Moncton New Brunswick. Really enjoy your programs I a m a native of Brandon Manitoba currently living in Alberta
My father worked at that generating plant in Kanuchuan in 1939. He was married there. I have pictures of my mom’s basement with winter supplies and me dragging an oval dishpan over the rocky terrain. My mom catching fish for fertilizer for her flower bed
As a winnerpegger living in bc born in the peg raised in reaburn mb north east of poplar point love to see a story about reaburn I know of a book that was made about that area Hope you could bring back some good tears
Hi Gordon! I am originally from Minnedosa Manitoba..living in BC now...My grandmother told me she was born in a town called Hollywood Manitoba..but I cant find anything on it!..Can you help!
The Brandon Mental Hospital was an old world structure, built by giant men. The counter tops are at 4 feet and the ceiling looks to be 12 feet. All of the old building were repurposed into insane asylums for those left with the forgotten memories. Thanks for the Great video.
I had a substitute teacher in grade 2 for about 2 months. I can't recall his name, but I do remember his stories. He said that he was an itinerant teacher who spent most of his adulthood teaching in outposts around northern Manitoba. Fridays after afternoon recess, he would treat us to a slide show. Showing and talking about some of the places he was at. One of them was Churchill. He lived in the quarters at the base. He had a photo of the hall probably taken from the same area as the one you took. I don't recall when he was there, but I think he said that it was the newest building in Churchill. He talked about his first day and how he ate his breakfast and packed a lunch and set off on foot to go to the school. He said that he was a little over halfway to the school with the hood of his parka pull up and tight when he heard a gun go of and he was brought to the ground about the same time. He thought that someone shot him when he heard a vehicle roar up and screech to a halt beside him. He said as he was laying there he felt the weight come off of him and he was picked up,l, he realized that a polar bear had come up behind him and he didn't hear it. It had reared up and was about to pounce on him when it was shot. He always had a ride to and from the school after that.
the farmer is good I would rip it down too. Who the heck wants random people coming round all the time. Would they use the trash can? Would you put a toilet and gift shop? This was a fun video, done by a guy who is really in to this topic. This is good enough. Random civilians coming around at random times should not be encouraged. It was just a stupid bunch of rocks forget about it now
@@voidremoved These places are valuable! The real trouble are the vandals,and the disrespectful people. And I guess we will never fix those. I love to photograph these places, but vandals got there first.
It's too bad people trashed the Lang house. That's the problem with the internet. And gotta luv that piece of trash farmer who burned down some of the few remaining pieces of history Manitoba has because he was but hurt about his field. Some simple signage or anything, even if provided by the govt, could have saved it. Is it worth saving any of the sites, since the govt is rewriting history anyways, and it seems if u own the land u could destroy whatever u want. U can't build an f-ing shed without a permit and can't alter any land but this clown farmer can bulldoze a historical building? It's truly a shame that his family owns land at all in this country or any other. And it shows the damage that the internet does to anything good that goes online. At least it's preserved on RUclips, because it won't be there for long. Hopefully this channel can record and preserve as much as possible.
Hey im a decedent 0f Cut berth Grant on my moms side and supposed decedent of Louis Reil on my dads side..So i can say my family built Manitoba..But no recognition cause were half breeds..!!!
wow Manitoba is a really boring place. This guy would have a brain aneurysm if he had to do this series on BC. BC has more spectacular sights in one square kilometer than Manitoba has in the entire massive province.

I thought very highly of your father and have added him to the Memorable Manitobans area of the MHS website: www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/people/kuehn_fg.shtml
Thank you for this fascinating post. Excellent job indeed .
Thank you for your fascinating and inspiring work Gordon!
Oops, the historical photo I showed was of Lyleton, not Tilston. Sorry people!
My mom used to teach in that school! Both my parents were teachers from 1945-1965. My dad taught in Wheatland at the army base when it was still in operation!
Thank you, very enjoyable, much appreciated.
Thank you so much for your informative and inspiring work. It’s priceless…🙏🏼
I fell in love with every building because it was all made by people. Time is the great equalizer.

Is it possible to find map locations for these?

I do not support the owner of the Lang house! Surely he could have made a nice little driveway to the house,put up a sign or two,and let people visit.

You don't have to have a gift shop,but to destroy history is a crime!
I do believe that my nephew was one of the adventurous people on the Port Nelson tour.
Actually he took one of the pictures of you.
i want to see the abandoned mental hospital in brandon, can i still go there, is it all blocked off
Pierson,MManitobas elevator is no more there
The first rule of finding abandoned places is never tell anyone about them.

Too much needless talking. Good grief.
