Settlers, Rails & Trails, Heritage museum in Argyle, Canada
Settlers, Rails & Trails is a heritage museum in Argyle displaying historical railway artifacts and agricultural equipment from the region. The collection is spread across the Community Centre building and an expansive grounds area with restored structures and natural features.
The museum began in 1991 as the Argyle Prairie Museum housed in a school basement and evolved into its current form. A major transformation in 2010 expanded the collection and shifted how the region's history was presented to visitors.
The museum displays agricultural development and school life from the region, bringing local stories to life through the objects on display. Visitors can understand the connection between early settlers and their surroundings through what they see here.
The museum opens once a month on the first Saturday afternoon with guided tours, so visitors should check dates before planning a trip. The location is northwest of Winnipeg and is most easily reached by car.
The grounds contain natural geological formations such as karst sinkholes that reveal the landscape history of the area. These underground features give visitors insight into the earth history hidden beneath the surface.
