Remington Carriage Museum
A carriage museum in the town of Cardston with one of North America's largest collections of horse-drawn vehicles, where you can take a carriage ride in summer.
The Remington Carriage Museum lies in the town of Cardston, about 75 km southwest of Lethbridge. It is operated by the Province of Alberta and holds more than two hundred carriages, sleighs, stagecoaches and fire wagons from the 19th to the early 20th century. It is one of the largest collections of its kind in North America. A restoration workshop lets visitors watch craftspeople at work through the windows. In summer you can take a carriage ride around town or visit the stables. Admission is about a dozen Canadian dollars, and the museum is open year-round, with shorter hours in winter. Cardston is also on the route to Waterton Lakes National Park, so it is a convenient stop.
