Artifacts that are currently displayed in the MTS Building include an antique telephone booth (now located on the south wall of the building), historical and educational details of MTS cabling and tools, many versions of telephones from over the years, and antique switchboards used by telephone operators to link locals to the world.
A new telephone office was opened by MTS on April 1, 1948 at 650 Mountain Avenue in Winkler. It was used for 16 years, but by 1965, the building was closed to make way for a new electronic office on the corner of Mountain and 3rd Street.
After its use as a telephone office, the building became known as “The Lighthouse,” a popular youth centre in its time that was located in Winkler.
In 2008, the MTS building was refurbished by MTS volunteers to mark their 100th anniversary.
This building also displays artifacts from a typical post office of by-gone days donated by Canada Post offices in Brandon, Gladstone, MacGregor, Minnedosa, Morden, Neepawa and Winkler — as well as mailboxes from the old Brown Store in the 1-6 District (southwest of Morden), which was closed between 1964–1968.
