About Crossroads Museum

The Crossroads Museum, run by the Mannville Historical Society, is housed in a building with two past lives: it started out as a country school before being converted into a Ukrainian Catholic church, and it now preserves the district’s history for visitors and researchers. The museum sits alongside the Mannville Historical Telephone Exchange Museum as one of the village’s heritage stops for anyone exploring the Yellowhead Highway corridor.

MCSnet sponsors the internet connection at the museum, so visitors, volunteers, and researchers can all get online without hunting for a cell signal. It joins three other MCSnet sponsored hotspots in Mannville: the Recreation Centre, the Seniors Drop-in Centre, and the Elks Hall. All four use the same network name and password, so a visitor who connects at the museum is already connected at the rest of the village’s hotspots.

How to Connect

Use these steps to connect at Crossroads Museum. The network name and password are the same at every MCSnet sponsored hotspot.

  2. Choose the network named MCSNET FREE.
  3. Enter the password freewifi (all lowercase, no spaces).
  4. You are online. There is no sign-in page and nothing to register.

Why Free Wi-Fi Here Matters

Travellers passing through Mannville on the Yellowhead Highway and local history researchers both benefit from a dependable connection, especially in a small village where cell coverage can be inconsistent. A free, encrypted Wi-Fi connection at the museum means a visitor can look something up mid-tour and a volunteer can keep the doors open without worrying about a data plan.

MCSnet sponsors this hotspot as part of its community partnership program across rural Alberta. See every free Wi-Fi hotspot in Mannville, the full hotspot directory, or read about internet across County of Minburn.
