The Great Sandhills Museum is located in the village of Sceptre, Saskatchewan, Canada on Highway 32.  The population of Sceptre is under 200 residents but that hasn't stopped Sceptre from becoming a tourist mecca!

Great Sandhills Museum

The Great Sandhills Museum opened in 1988.  Take a walk through the pages of time down the wooden boardwalks of the museum.  You will experience visits to a boarding house, hospital, livery stable, school, church, interpretive centre, dentist office and many more interesting rooms.

You can also visit in a church and barn adjacent to the museum and take a stroll through vintage machinery on display.

A trip around our village will provide much viewing pleasure as you note the cartoon fire hydrants, the world's tallest metal wheat sculpture and the many murals which have been painted by local and provincial artists.

Then off to the Great Sand Dunes just south of Sceptre - huge dunes of pure sand peaking high into the horizon.
