Most Prairie Towns in Manitoba have experienced ongoing physical renewal over the last 130 years with older commercial and residential buildings burned or torn down and replaced.  The faces of Main Streets all over the Province are in continuous flux.  Exceptions to this process are rare and one Manitoba town stands out---Carberry

Carberry bucked the typical raze-and-build trend of most small towns and proudly retains most of it's original brick and mortar ;

architecture from it's formative years in the late 1800's and early 1900's.  Because of this, Carberry has the distinction of having Manitoba's first and so far, only Heritage District.

Designated by the Provincial Heritage Department as a rare example of an early small town Manitoba streetscape, two blocks of Main Street comprise the district, which includes 28 mostly brick buildings, all of them deemed significant for their architectual and historical value and designated so.  It's a slice of Heritage Heaven.  Besides Main Street, Carberry has many noteable Heritage buildings in it's orginal core area.
