The Prairie River station is a historic building located in the small community of Prairie River. It was originally built as a train station by the Canadian Northern Railway company.
This two-story building is made of wood and was finished in 1919. While it no longer serves as a busy train station, it has found a new life. Today, it is home to the Prairie River Museum, where visitors can learn about the area's history.
About the Station Building
The Prairie River station was an important part of the railway system. It helped connect communities and transport goods and people. The building's design shows how train stations looked in the early 1900s.
From Trains to Treasures
After many years of serving as a railway station, the building was repurposed. It was transformed into the Prairie River Museum. This museum helps preserve the history of the Prairie River area. It also teaches people about the importance of railways in Canada's past.
