Western Development Museum - North Battleford, SK - Carriages and Coaches on Permanent Display on Waymarking.com

Here is how the WDM describes your experience at the North Battleford WDM:
"Join the fun at North Battleford’s Heritage Farm & Village WDM where we tell the story of farm and town life in Saskatchewan. You don't just visit this museum, you live it!"

Given their theme of a heritage farm and village, it follows that their collection includes many horse drawn modes of transportation. Included are hearses, ambulances, sleighs, cutters, buggies, democrats and wagons, all restored to new condition.

Founded in 1949, Saskatchewan's Western Development Museums are some of the best, most comprehensive museums one will have the good fortune to visit. They are all fairly large, with both indoor and outdoor displays. This museum, for example, houses everything from turn of the century household and small business artefacts to farm implements to steam tractors to a steam locomotive to actual buildings relocated to the museum.

These buildings include a grain elevator from Keatley, SK, the railway station from Prince, SK, an 1879 log building, as used by the Northwest Mounted Police,a thatched roof cottage, small business buildings, four churches, and more.
