MHM Docent Spotlight - Ralph Wiens
Ralph Wiens, MHM Docent
Having spent three decades as a Social Studies teacher and embracing a lifelong pursuit of learning, I hold deep pride in my Mennonite Christian heritage. Sharing and teaching about our rich Mennonite heritage has always been a passion of mine. Upon retirement, I had hoped to volunteer at the Mennonite Heritage Museum, and now, I'm delighted to be here fulfilling that dream. The museum's warm and inviting atmosphere makes it a pleasure to be part of this vibrant community.
Ralph has served as a MHM docent for over 2.5 years and leads HouseBarn & Main Exhibit tours on Tuesdays at 12:45 & 1:30pm.
Tours are free, registration is required, donations are welcome.
Call 604-758-5667 to book today!

With summer just around the corner, our Café is now offering iced coffee and iced raspberry lemon green tea. These beverages are both refreshing and delicious—definitely worth a try during your next visit! Stay tuned for the arrival of our Fresh Berry Pies, coming soon as the season arrives.
