Description
Self-Guided Visits are a wonderful way for learners of all ages to experience the WDM North Battleford. The WDM North Battleford provides scavenger hunts to encourage learning and discovery.
Scavenger hunts give direction and extra information for chaperoned student groups to explore the Museum galleries. Students work together to find featured artifacts and answer challenging, age appropriate and curriculum connected questions about Saskatchewan heritage. Groups can visit all galleries and exhibits at their own pace, spending time at the artifacts that pique their interest.
WDM North Battleford galleries to explore include:
- 100 Years of Saskatchewan History exhibit featuring displays about natural resources, Indigenous education and a 100 year timeline of Saskatchewan history.
- Exhibit Hall featuring a glimpse at rural life in 1920s Saskatchewan.
In September, May and June, explore the outdoor Heritage Farm and Village featuring a farmstead and over 30 homes and businesses representing the boom years of the 1920s.
