at the
Pembina Threshermen's Museum!
In 1966, five local farmers got together and decided to hold an old-time "threshing bee". A couple of years later, the Pembina Threshermen's Museum (PTM) was born!
Today, the PTM is filled with artifacts and has impressed people from around the globe offering acres of family fun for all ages, including events full of activities and ol'-fashioned adventure. So be sure to add this remarkable destination to your Must See list this year! And stop by to check out all there is to do!

Family Picnic Destination
Whatever happened to the good ol' picnics of days gone by? How often do we find ourselves thinking, "what a beautiful day for a picnic!"
What if today was the day ... and you packed a snack basket or lunch cooler full of goodies and finally took the afternoon off?
What a perfect spot at the Pembina Threshermen’s Museum (PTM). There’s something for everyone, so relax and enjoy your time together in a peaceful heritage setting. Then, when you're done, explore our outdoor prairie museum; and be sure to get your copy of the PTM Games (above) so you can have fun with history in our village while you're here!
Of course ANY day is a great day for a picnic ... but why not actually make it happen, today!
