In a Prairie Attic: Bladon Family Toys

This exhibit showcases more than 200 artifacts which speak of growing up during the settlement period of Saskatchewan. The artifacts tell the story of the Bladon family, a couple and their seven children who farmed near Lang, Saskatchewan from 1910 to 1995. The family members were savers. Five of the seven children lived in the family home for their whole lives. The toys provide a fascinating look at prairie childhood in the early decades of the 20th century.
