| Description |
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
The Saskatchewan Western Development Museum is a network of four museums in Saskatchewan, Canada preserving and recording the social and economic development of the province. The museum has branches in
Moose Jaw,
North Battleford,
Saskatoon
Yorkton
Respectively, each branch focuses on a different theme: transportation, agriculture, economy, and people.
Saskatoon WDM - 1910 Boomtown
The Saskatoon WDM is noted for its indoor recreation of a 1910-era "boomtown".
Actual buildings from the era, combined with recreations, are kept in a climate-controlled environment and filled with artifacts of the time. Buildings on site include a homestead, a police station, a bank, a newspaper office (with working printing press), a saddle shop, a general store, and a dentist's office, to name a few. The museum also includes displays of vintage automobiles and farm equipment. The Saskatoon branch also has convention facilities and is home to the Saskatchewan Agricultural Hall of Fame.
