Description

Text from Wikipedia 1/2012:
The Reynolds-Alberta Museum, traces the mechanization of Alberta's transportation, aviation, agricultural, and industrial past from the 1890s to present, as cars and trucks replaced horse-drawn buggies and wagons, huge factories replaced the village blacksmith shop, and mechanized equipment replaced animal and human-powered farm implements. The stories told by each exhibit reveal how the daily lives of Albertans were affected during this period of rapid change.

The Main Gallery is designed as a "highway through time", beginning with a horse-drawn carriage of the late 19th century and featuring four stations; a 1911 factory, a 1920s grain elevator, a 1930s service station, and a 1950s drive-in. The centre of the gallery has artifacts and displays that showcase agriculture through the four seasons of the year.

he museum spaces include a cafe, meeting rooms, exhibition display areas, 120 seat theatre, museum store, Resource Centre (non-lending library), Restoration Shop and Conservation Lab. The museum's 248 acre site includes farming fields, industrial equipment display, tour road, Aviation Hangar, collection storage facility, and fly-in access to the Wetaskiwin Airport. The museum has many operating artifacts which can be seen at special events. Some are operational throughout the summer as part of a Vintage Vehicle Tour program. A private company operates a 1939 WACO open cockpit biplane which offers rides.

Featured artifacts include:

A one-of-a-kind 1929 Duesenberg Phaeton Royale Model J
the world's oldest known production Chevrolet, a 1913 Chevrolet Classic Six
the world's oldest dragline, a Bucyrus Class-24 built in 1917
a 1928 American Eagle biplane,
a full-scale replica of the Avro Arrow
a half-track vehicle used in the infamous Bedaux Expedition, the subject of the film "Champagne Safari"
