Assiniboia & District Museum

The Assiniboia & District Museum is proudly operated by the Assiniboia & District Historical Society and is an active member of the Museum Association of Saskatchewan.

Much of Western Canada’s heritage runs through the Assiniboia district. A stroll down our 1912 boardwalk transports you back in time to a prairie town built by pioneers who braved the unknown and shaped the region we know today. Inside our walls, we honour their vision, resilience, and stories.

  

🌾What You’ll Discover 

  • Prentice African Safari Exhibit Wilfred Prentice — a farmer, inventor, and businessman from the Assiniboia area — travelled extensively on African safaris, collecting a remarkable array of specimens. Portions of his collection were donated to the Town of Assiniboia and are now showcased in this unique exhibit.
  • Vintage Automobiles Beautifully preserved vehicles dating back to 1916.
  • Military Display & Local Photo Archives Explore stories of local service members and browse historic images documenting the region’s growth.
  • Agricultural Heritage Our Pole Shed and Quonset house a wide range of agricultural machinery, tools, and additional antique vehicles.
  • And so much more – every corner offers a new piece of Assiniboia’s story.
