Alfred Ernest Medd moved to Winnipegosis in 1909.
He was a doctor and saw patients at an office downtown in the community. Five years later, Alfred and his wife Agnes moved into what is now the Winnipegosis Medd House Museum. Alfred and his wife had five children, and he began seeing patients at that home in 1914.
He continued to practice until he died in 1946, and Agnes remained in the home until 1972. The home was built in 1900. 125 years later, Jo Bunka is thrilled to be holding an open house on Friday afternoon at 2:00.
Bunka is the president of the Winnipegosis Historical Society.
"I think it's going to be an extremely special day," said Bunka. "It marks the history of our community being preserved. It shows us how life goes on. When we look at the past, we can see our future."
A short program opens the special event. It's open to anyone.
"Also, we're offering light refreshments and free tours of the house," ended Bunka. "It's a great opportunity to gather together to see how history can be preserved."
That's 2:00 p.m. on Friday at the Winnipegosis Medd House Museum.
