🚜🎶 Meet the little tractor that helped change farming history…

Our latest music video celebrates the legendary 1958 Fordson Dexta, now proudly on display at the Call of the West Museum!

Built in England and powered by a hardworking Perkins diesel engine, the Fordson Dexta became famous for being small, nimble, fuel efficient, and incredibly dependable on farms across the world — including right here in Alberta.

Now this prairie workhorse has inspired its very own classic country song: “Little Dexta Blues” 🎵

Watch the video, enjoy the music, and discover how this compact tractor earned a big place in agricultural history.

📍 Visit us at the Rodeo Grounds, High River
30A – 64137 HWY 543 East

Explore vintage tractors, classic automobiles, oil & gas history, farming heritage, and the stories that built the West.

🚗✨ What Galaxie Am I? ✨🚗

She arrived in pieces from an auction just a few short years ago… and today she stands proudly on display at the Call of the West Museum.

Our beautiful 1963½–1964 Ford Galaxie 500XL Fastback has been lovingly brought back to life by the dedication, skill, and passion of our incredible museum volunteers.

Now she’s the star of our brand-new music video: “What Galaxie Am I?” 🎶

Watch the video, enjoy the song, and discover the story behind one of the most exciting classic cars in our collection.

A huge thank you to the team who helped make this restoration possible:
👏 Clare, Trevor, Dennis, Don, Al, Ken, Lloyd, Ray, Doug & Sam

👉 Come visit us and see this beauty in person — along with vintage tractors, classic automobiles, oilfield history, farming heritage, and so many fascinating artifacts.

🎄 Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from the Call of the West Museum! 🤠
This holiday season, we want to say a heartfelt thank you to all our wonderful patrons, visitors, volunteers, donors, and supporters — and a special appreciation to Dee, our pioneer barber — for helping keep High River’s history alive.
To celebrate, we’ve created a little classic country Christmas song inspired by the tractors, vintage cars, rodeo grounds, and proud Foothills heritage that make our museum so special. We hope it brings a smile, a bit of nostalgia, and a lot of holiday cheer.
Thank you for being part of our museum family. Here’s to another year of stories, community, and keeping the spirit of the West alive.
🎶 Please enjoy — and feel free to share!
