Battle River Railway Trestle
Built 1907-08. The steel trestle was designed by the Grand Trunk Pacific railway as part of the company's westward movement to Edmonton. Upon completion, it was the largest railway structure in Canada until the Lethbridge Viaduct was completed in August 1909. Length: 845.82 m (2,775 ft), height: 59.44 m (195 ft).
The third largest stampede in Canada including rodeos, chuckwagon races, parade, rides and an agricultural fair.
The themes of the museum are the twin attractions of buffalo and prisoner-of-war camp. The museum features photos, movies, and collections related to the buffalo at the national park, including King, a mighty hybrid whose hide is featured in the museum’s Buffalo Room; and military collections from World War II and the internment camp. It also honours the heritage of the founding pioneer families, and records the influence of the railway in the development of the Wainwright district.
