Steinbach: The ‘Old’ and the ‘New’

In honour of the fiftieth birthday of the incorporation of the Town of Steinbach in 1946 the June and December issues of Preservings will include a special section. Steinbach, Manitoba, was founded in 1874 by 18 Kleine Gemeinde (KG) families originally from the Molotschna area in Imperial Russia.
