Reynolds-Alberta Museum

Saturday we traveled to Wetaskiwin, Alberta (less than an hour southeast of Edmonton) to visit the Reynolds-Alberta Museum.  According to the website the museum "interprets the impact of technological change in transportation, aviation, agriculture and industry from the 1890s to the present".  The museum had cars, bicycles, motorcycles, trucks, tractors, agricultural equipment, and airplanes on display.  There was also still part of a special exhibit called "Dinosaurs of the Field: Tractors That Built Alberta" which had several giant gasoline tractors that were used in Alberta from 1906 to 1921.  The museum is also home to Canada's Aviation Hall of Fame.  Everyone enjoyed the museum and agreed it was worth the trip.  Here's a few pictures from the museum.


 
There was even a little bit of Kansas there as one of the planes was built in Wichita and was named the Wichita Wiggler.
