Around Swedish America in 548 Days

Day 29 - Teulon

Forty minutes north of Winnipeg you can take a step back in time in a beautifully restored Swedish homesite. The Nordin Heritage Bed & Breakfast Inn and Guest Cottage (204-886-3818) is located in Teuolon, close to Lake Winnipeg beaches and golf courses.

In the beginning of the last century, the Nordin family settled in this area and set up a dairy farm that soon produced milk for the whole community. The loft of the immense stone and frame barn became a favorite for barn dances. Today you can visit the Swedish-designed blacksmith shop and walk the original wagon trails across the 800-acre property. The large farmhouse and nearby guest house has been transformed into a charming antiques-filled retreat that attracts visitors from all over the world.
