Artifacts reflecting the rich and varied history of Saskatchewan. Tom Sukanen was a Finnish-born sailor, farmer and Canadian. He built a sea vessel to enable his permanent return to his homeland.
The Sukanen Ship Pioneer Village and Museum is located south of the City of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada, on Highway 2. It has many displays of life on the Canadian Prairies, including many historic buildings that have been moved from surrounding communities, set up to mimic that of a small farming town from the early 1900s to 1930s.
