Pioneer Truck Museum

An enviable collection of dozens of antique trucks.

The buildings also include impressive displays of machinery, gas pumps and other artifacts. An archives room documents Alberta's trucking history. By tour only*.

Bunkhouse & Cook Car

Anyone with old-time farming knowledge will enjoy these early mobile buildings.

* The Long House, Ray Howden Building, and Pioneer Truck Museum are open for the same hours as the rest of Pioneer Acres but you must be accompanied by a tour guide to access them. We are very proud of our collections at Pioneer Acres but because of the nature of some of the artifacts we take extra care to preserve them. There is no additional charge for a tour, and no appointment necessary - please feel free to inquire at the Pioneer World building when you come to visit.
