The Rotary Museum of Police and Corrections building was originally a guardhouse for the F Division of the Northwest Mounted Police and was located on the Barracks site on 10^th Avenue West between 19^th and 24^th Street. The building was built around 1888.  It was donated to the Historical Society in 1972 and opened as a museum in 1985 by a group of interested individuals.

In this building, Saskatchewan Provincial Police, North-West Mounted Police / Royal North-West Mounted Police / Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Saskatchewan Penitentiary, Prince Albert City Police, and Provincial Corrections histories are highlighted.

Hours: During the summer opening season (mid-May to August) this museum is open daily and a tour guide  will show you artefacts and archival documents which tell the story of law enforcement in Prince Albert and Western Canada since 1884.  From September to mid-May (our off-season period) visits to this museum must be arranged.  Please contact the Historical Museum during regular business hours to set up an appointment for a tour.

The Evolution of Education schoolhouse was originally located in the Claytonville district approximately 24 km (15 miles) northeast of Prince Albert. It was constructed in 1920 and used as a school until 1963. This building is a fine example of the one room school houses which dotted the prairies in the mid-twentieth century. In 1989, the University Women’s Club of Prince Albert opened the museum to the public. It was not until 2005 that the Historical Society took over operations.

This building tells the story of early rural schooling and some of the first teachers in Prince Albert.
