Description
The Exchange District is a National Historic Site that includes a 20-block area in downtown Winnipeg containing 150 landmark historic buildings. The original center of Winnipeg, the area got its name from the Grain Exchange that made the city a major agricultural and commercial center. The historic architecture is only part of the appeal of the Exchange District, however. The area is a cultural hub, home to a lively urban scene with art galleries, restaurants, and nightlife.
