The Mennonite
House 1922

Built to Last a Thousand Years

In 1922, when timber was scarce in Chihuahua, the original builders solved it elegantly: they hauled Red Fir and Blue Pine from Canada by train. Over a century later, you can still see the axe marks.

This house served as the home of one of the region's most revered Chief Elders of the Old Colony church. Within these walls, he and his wife raised 14 children. Community members traveled from across the colonies to seek spiritual guidance in the room they called the Confession Room.

Found abandoned and facing demolition — saved by a broken excavator — it was relocated 10 miles in one piece and lovingly restored. Modern comfort now wraps a century of history.
