This museum was much bigger than my family expected! There were interesting topics you do not normally get to explore in a local museum, like bison and the military. We did not know there was a Prisoner of War camp in Wainwright! My daughter studying in the medical field really appreciated the antique hospital equipment.
Overall, the museum was clean, the gift shop had fun Wainwright-themed souvenirs, and the staff were friendly and helpful. We would visit again!
