Eastend
Eastend is a town in southwest Saskatchewan, Canada. It is situated approximately north from the Montana border and from the Alberta border.
The town is best known for the nearby discovery of a ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' skeleton nicknamed "Scotty" in 1994. The town has used the discovery of this fossil as the main centrepiece in the construction of a museum called the ''T. rex'' Discovery Centre, which opened on May 30, 2000. The centre is operated by the Royal Saskatchewan Museum, and contains the RSM Fossil Research Station. A former resident of Eastend is the writer Wallace Stegner, who lived in the town between 1917 and 1921 and featured it as the village Whitemud in his book ''Wolf Willow''.
==Geography==
