Occupying river lot 51 along the Red River, Riel House National Historic Site was Riel's family home, where his descendants continued to live until 1969. It is here, in the living room of his mother's house, that Riel's body lay in state for two days in December 1885. The house itself, a Red River Frame building (a style of construction popular for this region) has been restored to the spring of 1886.
Situé sur le lot 51 le long de la rivière Rouge, le lieu historique national de la Maison-Riel a longtemps été habité par la famille Riel; des descendants de la famille y sont restés jusqu'en 1969. Ici, dans le salon de la maison de sa mère, la dépouille de Louis Riel a été exposée pendant deux jours en décembre 1885. La maison à colombage pierroté, style de l'époque, a été restaurée à son apparence au printemps 1886.
