Wetaskiwin - Reynolds-Alberta Museum Attractions

One hour by car south of Downtown Edmonton is the friendly little town of Wetaskiwin. Here the main attraction is the Reynolds Alberta Museum, dedicated to everything to do with aircraft and vehicle construction. There are open-air displays of old agricultural machinery and tools, including some real dinosaurs - steam tractors, threshing machines, caterpillar tractors and trucks, also veteran aircraft. In the new main hall the history of vehicle production is presented in all its facets. Machinery and tools now long out of service can be seen in use in old films on various topics such as cereal harvesting. A second large hall reveals the glorious history of Canadian military and civil aviation, with the opportunity to inspect at close quarters some historic planes.
One of the newer highlights of the Reynolds Alberta Museum is the Life & Times of the Motorcycle featuring over 150 motorcycles, and of course, the history of the motorcycle.
