Pioneer Village
Howdy! We are happy you're here.
​
We are open Tuesday - Saturday from 10am - 5pm. The Pioneer Village is open most days unless we have a huge spring snow! Come on in! The last admission time is 3:00.
Please note: We will be closed for the May Long Weekend
(Saturday May 17, Sunday May 18, and Monday May 19)
to give our staff ​a break before our busy summer.
We will reopen on Tuesday, May 20 and be open 7 days a week for the rest of the summer!
This pole-framed structure began its exhibit life at the village as a typical representation of an important aspect of Canadian Prairie homesteading. Sod houses–or ‘Soddies’–were a quick and easy build, providing pioneers with temporary shelter until more permanent quarters could be constructed.
