This excellent museum, just off Hwy 11 at Duck Lake, focuses on the preservation of the Willow Cree First Nation, Métis and Pioneer cultures through stories and artifacts. A circular path around the gallery, looks at the people, their religion, their education, the political period of upheaval of 1885 and the development of economic life. A stairway to the top of the museum's distinctive 24m tower reveals sweeping views. The gift shop has work by local artists for sale.
