Victoria Home Guard Historical Society 

Re-established in 1997, the Victoria Home Guard Historical Society spearheaded the push which saw the Victoria District designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 2002. The Society continues to contribute to the ongoing preservation of the District, including the recent installation of numerous interpretive-informational signs along the Victoria Trail.


Our Mission: "To seek out, and to preserve and promote the history of the Victoria District for the benefit of present and future generations".

To this end, our projects have included the RCMP Memorial Sculpture, restoration of Victoria Park Cemetery and the Warspite Ferry site, as well as the Red River Cart Monument, the Welcome to Victoria District Sign and eight interpretive signs.
