Close your eyes and hear the thunder of the buffalo hooves across this vast prairie; the pounding hooves of a fleeing white horse carrying young lovers from a midnight rendezvous; the creaking of the giant wheels of the Red River ox carts as families move west seeking new beginnings. These are a few of the “Echoes and Legends” of Manitoba’s Central Plains. Built on a wealth of history, the Central Plains region is rich in diversity. Build your own “Echoes and Legends” as you visit our communities.
