Image of corduroy road, Brandon House.
Notes
[Brandon SE includes communities south of Trans-Canada #1 highway and east of PTH #10.] [Caption on the image itself reads: "Logs in the more-than-century old corduroy road near the first Brandon House"]. [Additional information on the image itself reads: "In the Souris-mouth district the banks of the Assiniboine are rough and pretty much untilled, so the sites are unusually well preserved. The site of the first Brandon House is very well marked. Thirty-one years of even interrupted occupation should leave some physical impression. It is in an open space of two or three acres in wooded country."]

Fred McGuinness is popularly known for his work as the prairie essayist for CBC Radio’s Morningside with Peter Gzowski, a position he held for 17 years.

The couple planted a Christmas tree farm on the property and Christine maintained an extensive kitchen garden, while Fred tended honey bees.
