“I arrived at 3:56pm and they closed at 4.00pm. I was in town for work and thought I’d check out the museum to learn about the history of Taber. I was also hoping to grab a little gift for my SO while there too. The lady at the front greeted me and introduced me to the place. I noted that I realized they were only open for 4 more minutes, and she replied that it was perfectly fine for me to stay as long as I like, and she truly meant it, she wanted me to learn and was more than happy to show me around and teach me the basics of how Taber came to be. It was a super cool experience, and I’m glad I stopped in before heading back home!”

“I had the pleasure of experiencing a guided tour led by the wonderful Jen. From the moment one of my friends inquired about a tour, the staff was accommodating and friendly, and Jen proved to be an exceptional guide. Her knowledge and eagerness to share her findings and insights added an extra layer of enjoyment to our visit. The museum's collection is simply astounding. With over 270 carriages on display, it offers a comprehensive exploration of the history of transportation. From the humble carriages of farmers to the luxury carriages, each exhibit provides a captivating glimpse into the past. The collection not only highlights the diversity of carriage designs but also educates visitors about the historical context behind them. One particular highlight of the museum is its restoration workshop. Witnessing the meticulous process of repairing and restoring these magnificent carriages was truly fascinating. The dedication and expertise of the craftsmen involved are evident in the impeccable results they achieve. It was a pleasure to learn about the time and care it takes to preserve these historical treasures for future generations. I wholeheartedly recommend a visit to the Remington Carriage Museum!”

Devil's Coulee Dinosaur and Heritage Museum

Address: Inside the County building, 300A County Rd, Warner, AB T0K 2L0, Canada

Museum Point of interest Establishment Tourist attraction

“We were told that this is the only museum that allows the visitor to touch real dinosaur bones and eggshells. This alone makes the museum a MUST SEE when you’re in southern Alberta. We had a guided tour in the museum and then we drove out about a half hour away to the place where dinosaurs used to lay their eggs, their nest. There were many pieces of fossilized bones and eggshells which were pretty exciting to find. I can’t imagine a more exciting experience walking where the dinosaurs used to walk, millions of years ago.”
