Welcome
Take a step into the past
Visit us to walk along our boardwalk of our early town and look through the old interior of buildings and stores, preserved as they once were. Then take a trip forward to the beginning of the electric era. Don't forget to check out our vast display of antique cars. There is something to interest everyone, why not come see for yourself?
About Us
At Assiniboia & District Museum you will feel as though you stepped back in time. Since our re-launch in 1995, in our new building, we have been dedicated to enriching the lives of all who visit our space.
For regular guests, we try to keep things interesting by regularly hosting exciting events and fresh new seasonal exhibits. Out of town guests enjoy our beloved exhibits such as the Farquhar Car exhibit, Boardwalk through time, and the Prentice Safari exhibit. We hope you will come to our amazing museum soon.

Our Most Recent Family Activity
We’ve Got Something for Everyone
There’s always something new to learn from our permanent and temporary exhibitions. Our team of staff, volunteers and creative minds are working around the clock in order to ensure that our visitors always find something new to discover at our History Museum, Visitor Centre with Mini Golf Course. Take a look at our past, current exhibitions, and nine hole Mini Golf course.
Mini Golf
This Nine hole Mini Golf course has been getting many people coming out to golf on this course.Â
Obstacles will be added with fundraisers or donations as costs associated with building the course, supplies and labor added up very quickly!Â
We have had a donation of an Elevator that summer students added touches up and we had a couple farm items to the course.
We have a couple obstacles on the course and hope to add a couple more next year.
Mini Golf is open. It will close for the winter week of October 14, 2024. It will be reopened in Spring 2025.
Adrian Paton Photo Collection
We are excited! This is about life in Saskatchewan with different cultures. It was a great traveling exhibit. We had many people that came to view this. It has been returned to its base in Saskatoon.
