Exchange District Historic Walking Tour | Sat., Sept. 20 | 10:30 am – 12:00 pm

A National Historic Site, the Exchange District features an exceptional collection of heritage buildings built between 1880 and 1920—all tucked away within a small 20-block area. Nicknamed the “Chicago of the North”, the neighbourhood features massive stone and brick warehouses, elegant terracotta-clad buildings, narrow angled streets, as well as cobblestone paths and alleyways. Walk the cobblestone streets and experience the vibrant, bustling history of the Exchange District. Learn about Newspaper Row, turn-of-the-century banks, and the Winnipeg General Strike of 1919. Get to know the famous and unsung characters who made Winnipeg the city it is today. On our guided walking tours, knowledgeable and dynamic tour guides examine legends of power, corruption and heroism, all while you enjoy an exceptional collection of architecture. A must-see for locals.
