Breidavik-Hnausa Memorial Monument

Heritage Value
In 1876, about 35 Icelandic families settled the Lake Winnipeg shoreline between Arnes (Drunken Point) and Sandy Bar, which they called Breidavik (Broad Bay).  In 1889, Hnausa post office was established in the home of Rev. Magnus J. Skaptason from Hnausar in Iceland.  A trading and shipping centre was founded by Stefan and Johannes Sigurdson in 1890.
