STEINBACH

 Mennonite Heritage Village 40-acre complex spreads out from a street reminiscent of the Mennonite villages found in southern Manitoba during the late 1800s. Century-old dwellings, church and school are furnished to the period. The Livery Barn Restaurant serves tasty Mennonite fare, from traditional recipes, in a pioneer setting. The general store offers locally crafted items, stone-ground flour, old-fashioned candy, a wide selection of souvenirs. A windmill with 20 m sails dominates the village.

The reconstructed village contains buildings, artifacts and implements honouring the Mennonite pioneers who first settled the area in the 1870's.

Steinbach Pioneer Days is a four day event held every August to celebrate pioneer life. The festivities feature interpretive demonstrations including churning butter, threshing, log cutting and quilting. There is also an auction sale, horse show, children's event and barbecue.

BULAWAYO

 Bulawayo is one of the country's most attractive cities, and a major centre for mining, ranching, commerce and industry. The tree lined streets were said to be designed to be wide enough to allow a full span of oxen and a wagon to turn around. The present City Hall, stands on the site of the 1896 laager and houses many items of historical value. The Railways Museum, in the city, houses engines, rolling stock and exhibits of machinery dating back to the early days of 20th century. Of special interest, are the antique locomotives and the 'museum on wheels'.
