The History of Transportation WDM

Automobile gallery features models from luxurious to industrious.Travel the past with us and see how our forefathers dealt with distance. Until the early nineteenth century, the chief means of transporting people and goods across the west was along natural waterways by canoe, or over land by Red River cart, horseback, pack horse or travois. The railway played a crucial role in opening Western Canada, delivering goods and passengers with ease.

Later generations experienced the impact of the automobile and the network of roads carved from the land to accommodate it. The journey follows the daring attempts to master the sky, using aircrafts, which were often little more than canvas and wood held together with prayers and prairie ingenuity.


Snowbirds Gallery

Our exclusive gallery is the only one in the world to feature Canada's premier aerobatic team, the 431 Squadron Snowbirds. You will experience the personal side of the team, learn of Canadian military aerobatic flight history, and view behind-the-scenes areas frequented by pilots and crew.
