From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Treherne is a village in southern Manitoba, Canada. It is located halfway between Winnipeg and Brandon on Provincial Highway 2. Primarily a farming community, Treherne has a population of around 700 people, and has two schools (Treherne Elementary School and Treherne Collegiate Institute). Recently, a brand new daycare facility was opened in the town, and the town has built an updated outdoor swimming pool facility.

A popular tourist attraction in Treherne is the glass bottle house, chapel, wishing well, and outhouse, built by local resident Bob Cain.
