I recently took a short trip from Saskatoon to the town of Radisson, Saskatchewan. I had traveled through the town before, but had never been too interested in the town's museum - the Radisson Zion Musuem. I'm not a prairie museum enthusiast because usually I see neater pieces of history just driving around.
This time, however, the museum's owners lured me inside. And it was incredible.
Privately owned and funded, artifacts fill every room of the old Zion church, and every room took my breath away. One of the owners, a warm and bubbly Barb, said that she, her husband and another partner had amassed and funded the collection, renovated the church, and now run the museum entirely on their own, just because they love doing it. Their passion shows in every detail.
Just a few of the many photos I couldn't help but take...
