The museum offers guided tour rides around the exterior grounds where you can see several jet engine aircraft, agricultural equipment and huge steam shovels. A gift shop, restaurant and publication resource centre are also located inside the museum. Stan Reynolds was mainly credited for the start of this museum as he donated over 1500 artifacts to the Province of Alberta between 1982 and 1986. Stan Reynolds owned the local car dealership and accumulated his collection of vehicles, farm equipment and aircraft by taking these in trade for cars. Several other individuals and organizations have also donated to this growing collection. Wiki has a good list of all the items located in the Reynolds Alberta Museum. This museum is not yet a member of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites but I'm sure it will be one day soon, it's that good. Allow at least 2 hours to tour the museum. Nearby campgrounds are Miquelon Lake Campground and Pigeon Lake Campground.
