The Indian Head Museum, housed in the town’s beautifully preserved 1907 fire hall, offers an immersive glimpse into prairie life through a network of heritage buildings and carefully curated exhibits. Visitors can explore a restored one-room schoolhouse, the 1883 Bell Farm Cottage, blacksmith and carpenter shops, agricultural outbuildings, and a CPR railway room, all filled with artifacts that bring the settler experience to life. The museum showcases everything from early domestic tools to military memorabilia, creating a vivid portrait of life in a growing prairie community.
Among its most compelling features is the Indian Head Rockets exhibit, which honours the legacy of the groundbreaking all-Black and Latino baseball team that played across Saskatchewan in the 1950s. This exhibit tells the story of the Rockets’ connection to the Negro Leagues, their role in drawing massive crowds to Indian Head, and their cultural impact on the prairies.
Another highlight is the museum’s Métis cultural display, featuring a kitchen and stories that celebrate the local Métis community’s resilience and creativity. Scan the QR code to watch our local documentary on nine Knowledge Keepers.
