Riel House was built in 1880-81. The land on which the house stands (Lot 51) had been given by Bishop Tache to Julie Riel on the death of her husband in 1864.

Louis Riel Jr. himself never actually resided in this house. He visited only briefly in the summer of 1883, but it was here that Riel's body lay in state for two days in December of 1885 following his execution for his involvement in the North-West Rebellion. It was also in this house that his young wife, Marguerite, died in May of 1886.

Riel House is open from mid May through Labour Day, it is located at 330 River Road.
