Reynolds Museum, Transportation museum in Wetaskiwin, Canada

Reynolds Museum is a collection of vehicles, machines, and technical objects spread across a large property in Wetaskiwin. Multiple buildings and hangars display tractors, aircraft, and industrial equipment that show different eras of transportation and farming.

The collection started when a collector donated hundreds of objects to Alberta, leading to the museum's opening in 1992. Since then it has grown to show machines and vehicles that tell the technical history of farming and transportation in the region.

The museum's library holds over 1,800 publications and 18,000 trade literature items on transportation and agricultural machinery. Interactive exhibits recreate a 1911 automobile assembly line, a 1920s grain elevator, a 1930s service station and a 1950s drive-in theatre, showing how mechanization changed life in Alberta from the 1890s onward.

The property is large and best explored on foot or by car since buildings are spread across the grounds. Plan for several hours to comfortably see the different displays without rushing.

Stan Reynolds began with trade-ins at his car dealership, and by 1955 he had enough vehicles to open a private museum. In 1999 he donated another 60 aircraft, the largest donation of vintage aircraft in Canadian history. The collections storage building, 10,219 square metres, is closed to the public but can be visited on private tours.
