Celebrate 100 years of Saskatchewan! Check out a few highlights of this exhibit below.
100 Year Timeline
See
artifacts, photos, and video representing the events and trends which shaped
and affected Saskatchewan since 1905.
Did you know...Cedoux, a community north of Weyburn, was on the receiving end of Canada’s largest recorded hailstone in 1973. The baseball- sized stone weighed 290 grams (over ½ pound) and measured 114 mm (4 ½ inches) in diameter.

Formation of a Province
This
introduction area dramatically sets the stage for 1905 by giving an
overview of the long and eventful story before provincehood.
A First Nations female mannequin from about 1850, a young Métis man from
about 1870 tell the story with two other mannequins, an immigrant woman
from 1890 and a politician in 1905. A mural in the introduction areas
shows a pristine parkland view before European contact. Artifacts,
photographs, dialogue and a specially-written song connect the years
before contact to the year of provincehood.
Log Home
Few
people ever crossed the threshold of a home built almost 100 years ago,
nestled in a bluff of trembling aspen, a few kilometres northwest of
present-day Theodore, Saskatchewan. For years the small log home had sat
abandoned and at the mercy of the winter cold and summer heat. That all
changed dramatically on October 17, 2002, when the shack was lifted and
transported to the Yorkton WDM.

(NEW) Let's Have Fun
How
do we unwind after the work is done?
In a province with two very distinct seasons, winter and summer fun are
very different. From skating to snowshoeing, tennis to tenting, we spend
our downtime alone or with friends and family, indoors or outdoors, in
sports or in cultural pursuits. In the 21st century, the Internet has
opened a whole new world of gaming, connecting and learning.

Theatre
The Saskatchewan Theatre is an elegant, intimate and welcoming space
that invites visitors to view the province with new eyes.
Authentic
early 20th century theatre seating for 15, complete with
ornate cast iron supports, are complemented by heavy velvet draperies
and a decorative closed beam ceiling.
Six vignettes set into the theatre walls feature dress-up clothing like
cowboy and cowgirl outfits for children, or a night on the town for
their parents.
