Western Development Museum offers a step back in time
The Western Development Museum (WDM) was offering a glimpse into the past over the weekend.
At the annual Those Were the Days event, WDM opened its doors to show off all the museum has to offer, showcasing what life for families on the prairies in the early 1900s was like.
Those in attendance had the opportunity to peruse the various exhibits and take a stroll through a miniature early 20th-century village. The buildings here consist of churches, old fashioned homes, general stores, post offices and more, each open to allow visitors the chance to take a peek into how these establishments once operated.
Joyce Smith, the general manager of WDM, said having the opportunity to see where society once was is essential information for people to know.
