The Waskesiu Heritage Museum displays the human history of Waskesiu Lake and Prince Albert National Park since its 1928 creation. We feature an original canvas-roofed shack tent and a replica camp kitchen from the early days in Waskesiu.
Other outdoor exhibits include a fire tower cupola, a portable cabin and shed fondly known as a dog house, a railcart portaging a canoe, and wash day equipment. An original log building houses indoor exhibits and displays.
Collection Highlights: Â Canvas-roofed shack tent / Replica camp kitchen / Portable cabin / Fire cupola / Rail cart for portaging boats.
We have created an online guide to 41 historic locations around the townsite called Heritage Moments. Signs with QR codes are hung at these locations for people to link the stories, photos, videos, and information using the camera on their phone. However, the materials can all be viewed at any time on our website. It can be found as Heritage Moments on the menu of our website or directly at waskesiuheritagemoments.org.
