Artefact Donations
Since opening in 1967, the Fort la Reine Museum has accumulated over 5000 historic artefacts and memorabilia from Portage and surrounding District. Due to capacity limitations, we are no longer accepting artefact donations (with the exception of significant items from regionally recognized historic figures, and items that tell of a larger history of Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, and Canada).

By being selective about what the Museum accepts, we can insure that we are able to ethically care for our collection and display artefacts that directly reflect our mandate.
Monetary Donations
As a registered charity and non-profit organization, Fort la Reine Museum relies on the generosity of donors to support our programs, special events, and daily operations. Community contributions allow us to preserve our historic buildings, expand educational opportunities, and continue sharing our region’s stories.
Do you have a personal connection to the museum or to one of our historic structures?
Every donation—large or small—helps maintain our site and sustain our work for future generations.
​
Donations of $50 or more will receive an official charitable tax receipt.
​
If you would like to support Fort la Reine Museum, please contact us by phone or email. We sincerely appreciate your generosity and commitment to preserving our shared heritage.
