In 1995 the Canadian Historic Windpower Interpretive Centre was opened to the public showcasing windmills of the prairies. In 2010 we celebrated our 20th Anniversary with the opening of two new exhibits, a vast collection of 300+ dolls as well as the showcase of stationary engines from the Estate of Arnold Stromsmoe. Our lastest addition is the building Nodwell Station which officially opened July 1, 2017, containing two antique automobiles and vintage/antique service station artifacts.
