La Crete Mennonite Heritage Village, under the management of the La Crete Agricultural Society since 1991, showcases a collection of over 15 local heritage buildings, a 1910 Case steam engine, the former Tompkins Landing ferry, a flour mill, and various farm equipment, furnishings, and artifacts.

Annually, in early September, the village hosts Pioneer Day, featuring a community pancake breakfast, antique parade, equipment demonstrations like shingle making and threshing, cultural food booths, and engaging kids’ activities.

Visitors can enjoy guided tours of the museum either on foot or by golf cart based on their preference. Additionally, the village offers assistance with Mennonite genealogy through the GRANDMA database and a gift shop stocked with local books and crafts, along with accessible washrooms for convenience.
