CANADA ~ Canadian Pacific Railway Station - Beiseker ~

... A lovely view from the past... a drawing of one of the last wooden-framed stations... it represent 100 years of Alberta's railway history... now a museum that provides a window into lives of the early settlers of the area...with set of great stamps... Thanks a lot Glenn!!【ツ】

Historic Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) Station constructed in 1911 in the Village of Beiseker, Alberta. The old depot has been relocated and now serves as the Beiseker Municipal Office, the Municipal Library, and the Beiseker Station Museum.

This museum was established on December 21, 1984, after many hours of labour by local volunteers. The majority of the artifacts in the museum were donated by local residents, making it a truly authentic local museum.
