Discover the rich history of Christ Church, an independent Anglican parish that has been a cornerstone of the Selkirk community since 1887. From its historic 500 lb. bell to its beautiful modern sanctuary featuring local stained-glass masterworks, explore how this faith community continues to serve and shape the town.
Originally named to persuade a local landowner to sell his property, McLean Avenue quickly evolved into Selkirk’s “Church Street.” This exhibit explores the avenue’s spiritual and social history—from the grand architectural treasures built by early congregations to the historic cable ferry whose colorful operators kept the town connected across the Red River.
