- Winnipeg has deep Scottish roots. It is home to the Red River Settlement, part of the Selkirk Settlement Scheme. It also was home to a number of early Scots settlers who were recruited by the Hudson's Bay Company. The records for these are at the Manitoba Archives, just a 15 minute drive from the library. Come early and spend the Friday researching in the Archives.
Winnipeg borders North Dakota, is a short drive from Minnesota and is even manageable from the surrounding states.
