Rusty Relics Museum

The Rusty Relics Museum was founded as a non-profit organisation in 1973 thanks to a Youth for Employment Grant from the government. Seven women went around Carlyle gathering artefacts and interviewing older residents to start the founding of the museum. Gladys Nicholl was elected its first president that same year. In 1976, the museum bought the old train station and had it moved to its present location. The museum officially opened on 8 July 1980. [2]

The museum houses a working telegraph station, 10,000 catalogued artefacts, a Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) caboose and jigger car on a railway track. As a separate building there is a country schoolhouse. There was Anglican Church that was built in 1905 as part of the museum, but it was demolished in 2019. [3]

Many historically significant buildings in Regina, Saskatchewan were lost during the period 1945 through approximately 1970 when the urge to "modernize" overtook developers' and city planners' sense of history and heritage. The old warehouse district to the north of the old CPR tracks was Regina's original commercial raison d'être once Lieutenant-Governor Edgar Dewdney had established the site of his considerable landholdings as the Territorial Capital. 1899 to 1919 Washington Park and 3431 Dewdney Ave building as CPR commercial logistics building, expanded connected with significant conversion of shipping of commercial goods from train to truck and cancellation of passenger service on the railway, the Warehouse District immediately adjacent to the train line has ceased to be exclusively industrial in character. Some areas of the Warehouse District have been transformed into a shopping, entertainment and residential precinct.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">History of Saskatoon</span>

The history of Saskatoon began with the first permanent non-indigenous settlement of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, in 1883 when Toronto Methodists, wanting to escape the liquor trade in that city, decided to set up a "dry" community in the rapidly growing prairie region. As of 1882 this area was a part of the provisional district named Saskatchewan, North-West Territories (NWT). Their organization, the Temperance Colonization Society, first examined this area in 1882 and found that it would make an excellent location to found their community based on the ideals of the temperance movement; Saskatoon traditionally considers 1882 its founding year and thus marked its centennial in 1982. The settlers, led by John Neilson Lake, arrived on the site of what is now Saskatoon by traveling by railway from Ontario to Moose Jaw, Assiniboia, NWT, and then completing the final leg via horse-drawn cart. The plan for the Temperance Colony soon failed as the group was unable to obtain a large block of land within the community. Nonetheless, John Lake is commonly identified as the founder of Saskatoon; a public school, a park and two streets are named after him.
