In its own words
We operate a museum to collect restore display maintain and demonstrate those items deemed to be of cultural and historic value to the pioneers and settlers in southern Alberta (primarily during the years of 1905-1965) including tractors and historical buildings. We offer a school program for grade 2 students in May and June. We host a spring and fall Tractor Pulls Show & Shine Harvest Days during Jamboree Days and fundraising dinners. Also offer self-guided tours of the museum.
