Consists of photographs and a postcard of the buildings and facilities at Grand Beach, Manitoba, operated by Canadian National Railways. In 1914, the Canadian Northern railway company purchased a 150-acre homestead at Grand Beach to develop a resort. Construction on a massive dance hall pavilion began soon after. It was completed in 1915.Anyone wanting to stay at Grand Beach had to assemble his or her own tent until 1920 when the railway built the Grand Beach Hotel. After 1921, CNR continued operations until the early 1960s.
