Cannington Manor Provincial Park, Historic provincial park in Moose Mountain No. 63, Saskatchewan, Canada
Cannington Manor Provincial Park is a historic park in Saskatchewan preserving remains of a 19th-century village with replica structures and original buildings. The site features a reception center located inside a 1920s schoolhouse that serves as the main visitor hub.
The village was founded in 1882 by Captain Edward Michell Pierce as an English agricultural community in western Canada. It emerged during a period when the fur trade was declining and European settlers sought to establish farming ventures in new territories.
The settlement reflected English customs through leisure activities like tennis and cricket that early settlers brought with them to Canada. Visitors can sense how the community maintained these traditions while building a new life far from home.
The park operates during specific seasons and offers guided tours and interpretive programs to help visitors understand the site. Pathways and most areas are designed for accessibility, making it easy to explore at a comfortable pace.
The Humphrys-Hewlett house built in 1888 stands as one of the few remaining original structures from the settlement's wealthier residents. This dwelling offers insight into how prosperous families lived during the early days of the community.
