Description

 

Join us for a special visit where students learn about Saskatchewan history by doing as they try their hand at old-fashioned skills, from butter churning and ice cream making, to using typewriters and treadle sewing machines. They’ll also meet Museum volunteers who will demonstrate their knowledge of activities from long ago.

Explore the Museum galleries featuring planes, trains, automobile and more. Climb aboard a locomotive train engine and sit in a Snowbirds jet. Learn about Saskatchewan innovations such as Medicare, air ambulances and the automated teller machine.
