Description
Self-Guided Visits are a wonderful way for learners of all ages to experience the WDM Yorkton. The WDM Yorkton provides curriculum connected 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 piques their interest.
WDM Yorkton galleries to explore include:
- 100 Years of Saskatchewan History exhibit featuring displays about immigration and settlement in Saskatchewan, leisure activities and a 100 year timeline of Saskatchewan history
- Yorkton Local History exhibit
- Showcase Rooms featuring artifacts from different countries
- In A Prairie Attic: Bladon Family Toys exhibit
