The Schneller Schoolhouse is one of the only designated historical building in the RM of Estevan No. 5. The Schoolhouse was moved to the Museum’s courtyard in 2002.
In 2016 the Museum was renovated to include 2 washrooms and a programming room that allowed the Museum to be open year-round.
The Museum provides programs, camps, and events year-round for families, children, and seniors.
