1. Seven Oaks House Marker
This house, completed in 1853, is one of the oldest surviving residences in Manitoba. It was built by John Inkster, 1799–1874, farmer, merchant and free-trader, and was privately occupied until 1954. Its name derives from seven large oak trees which stood nearby, marking the site of the Battle of Seven Oaks fought on June 19, 1816 between the servants of the Hudson’s Bay Company, the Selkirk Settlers and representatives of the rival North West Company.
