At that time, people across Saskatchewan became concerned that the settlers’ farm machinery was fast disappearing. In 1945, the Saskatchewan Government charged the Minister of Natural Resources and Industrial Development with collecting early historic items. The large number of donations led to the establishment of several collection depots, usually surplus aircraft hangars, to store the artifacts. On April 2, 1949 the Saskatchewan Legislature gave royal assent to a bill to create a Western Development Museum.</p> <p>The hangar in North Battleford opened to the public in 1947, followed by Saskatoon in 1949. In 1951, the federal government requested the return of its hangar at the Saskatoon airport. A surplus hangar was moved from Swift Current and relocated to a site on 11th Street. The hangar in Yorkton was opened to the public in 1951.</p> <p>The continued growth of the Museum resulted in the need for new facilities. In 1963, the North Battleford location was moved into another relocated hangar on a new site at the junction of Highways 16 and 40. Three years later, a pioneer village was begun at the North Battleford site. In 1972, modern buildings were built for the locations in Yorkton and Saskatoon and in 1976 a new museum was opened in Moose Jaw. To alleviate the constant need for storage and administration space, the Corporate Office building was opened in 1984.</p> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div class="content-block"> <h2>Timeline</h2> <div class="timeline"> <ul class="myCarousel"> <li> <h6>1940</h6> <p>Interested people, working through the Canadian North West Historical Society in the Battlefords, begin to preserve early farm machinery.</p> </li> <li> <h6>1946</h6> <p>The provincial Minister of Natural Resources and Industrial Development, Joe Phelps, provides $10,000 for an agricultural museum to the group in the Battlefords.</p> </li> <li> <h6>1947</h6> <p>Phelps obtains a hangar at the North Battleford airport to store and exhibit the farm machinery collected.</p> </li> <li> <h6>1949</h6> <p>The WDM opens another collection of farm machinery to the public at a hangar at the Saskatoon airport.</p> </li> <li> <h6>April 2, 1949</h6> <p>The Saskatchewan Legislature passes an act creating the Western Development Museum.</p> </li> <li> <h6>April 21, 1949</h6> <p>The Board of Directors of the WDM holds its first meeting.
