The Riverton Musical Memories exhibit features musical talent from a small Manitoba village and its surrounding community. For more than 50 years, local musicians and supportive individuals have preserved a tradition that has been a source of pride and accomplishment.
The Riverton Musical Memories exhibit showcases “Johnny and his Musical Mates,” a local family of talented musicians. For decades, these dedicated musicians influenced others and provided the impetus for family and friends to acquire a lifelong love for music.
The exhibit’s images, reminiscences, music and vocal clips, are divided into five storylines: Johnny and his Musical Mates, Musical Mates, The Next Generation, Fine Country Folk and Riverton Hootenanny. The musicians of Riverton have created a legacy through their commitment and dedication to music. They have been an inspiration for generations to follow.
