Beausejour is a town of about 3,100 people (2011) in eastern Manitoba. Beausejour's primary attraction is a pioneer village open-air museum. As the town is 60 km (40 mi) from Winnipeg, it makes a good day trip from the city.

An open-air living history museum, established 1967, includes a log house, the Sebright schoolhouse, community hall, Canadian Pacific Railway station, store, blacksmith shop, and a Ukrainian Church with a bell tower. Heritage Day festivities in mid-August.
The site of the first glass container factory in Western Canada, which used silica sands to produce bottles for breweries and soft drink companies in Winnipeg. The company expanded production to include jars, and medicine and ink bottles, employing 350 workers at its peak. Unable to compete with eastern Canadian manufacturers, which had fully automatic machinery and greater access to capital, the factory closed seven years later. All that remains is an archaeological site and the abandoned building foundations.
A two-acre park at the north entrance to Beausejour where an AHS and CHS display garden (established 2002) showcases 600 daylily cultivars, thousands of iris, peonies, lilies, ornamental shrubs and trees.
