The WestMenn Historical Committee is a standing committee of the Manitoba Mennonite Historical Society. Formed in 2014, WestMenn merged the functions of two earlier local history committees.
WestMenn strives to forge partnerships with interested people and groups, and facilitates connections between them when possible. It supports the research, presentation, and publication of West Reserve village histories and other projects it deems of relevant importance.
On occasion, the committee even undertakes a project or two of its own. This includes the annual Post Road Bike Tour, the West Reserve Atlas Project, and village history workshops.
Members: Glen R. Klassen (chair), Ernest N. Braun (secretary), Jacob L. Peters (treasurer), Henry N. Fast, Orlando Hiebert, Harold J. Dyck, Ben D. Funk, and Edward G. Krahn.
