Kinda disappointing. No real effort put in to the site.

An interesting a piece of Canadian history with information placard about Louis Riel. It would have been nice to have had more information available. Makes you proud to think there were decent people back then who fought for civil rights when it would have seemed like an insignificant idea.

An opportunity to pay respect to a man who did more to create the Canada of today than many of our "founding fathers". Riel was important, and I was pleased to be able to see his grave today.

What looks to be a normal very old stone church from the outside is very much different when you find out it's just the mere skeleton of what remains. We were fortunate to hear a tour that was going on regarding the history regarding this church. Pretty neat.

Fantastic landmark. A nice stop along a nice walk from downtown this spot is a historical spot that will bring out some of the jr.high social studies memory that you thought you had forgotten.

The cathedral and his house are worth the visit.

This is a historic place in Manitoba. There are a lot of graves tied to famous people including Louis Riel. The Saint Boniface Museum is close by for you to visit. You are also able to see the Cathedral ruins. There is also a theatre in the cemetery where you can hear about the history of Manitoba and the French history. The plays are in French and English. The image I am posting comes from Trip Advisor but is very similar to what I have seen.
