Margaret Laurence, an internationally renowned author, was born and raised in Neepawa, which provided the setting for five later novels set in the fictional prairie town of Manawaka. Laurence lived in her grandfather's house from 1935 to 1944. Built c. 1894, the house, and her grandfather John Simpson, figured prominently in the Manawaka novels. It was designated a Manitoba Provincial Heritage Site in 1987.
