The People’s Museum Society is one half of the St. Paul Museum, sharing a building with the St. Paul Historical Museum. It tells the story of how farming and town life changed after the first homesteaders settled the area, with displays that include vintage tractors, plows, and implements for cultivating, seeding, harvesting, and processing crops. A trapper’s cabin with furs, a general store, a barber’s shop, and a farm kitchen sit alongside a collection of veterans’ photographs from the County of St. Paul, with the whole collection focused on the agricultural heritage of rural northeastern Alberta.
MCSnet sponsors the internet connection at the museum, so visitors researching family history, staff cataloguing artifacts, or a school group on a field trip can get online without relying on the building’s own limited connectivity.

Museum buildings are often older structures with thick walls that block cell signal, and visitors doing genealogy research or staff managing a collection both benefit from a dependable connection. Free Wi-Fi at the People’s Museum keeps that research possible on site, whether you are a local or passing through.
