Settlers, Rails & Trails is a community run, non-profit museum located in Argyle, Manitoba. It exhibits local history, railway and agricultural artifacts and historical information, and it is also home to the Canadian Flag Collection. Argyle is part of the Rural Municipality of Rockwood, and is located approximate 10 km northwest of the town of Stonewall. == History == Began in 1991 as a school project under the name ''Argyle Prairie Museum'', the museum exhibited artifacts and local history in the basement of the Brant-Argyle School. The school is a provincial (Manitoba) historical site. In 1993, the museum was expanded to include the Ekhart railway station, and soon afterward a general store and blacksmith building. The museum was open to the public in the summer months and during Argyle’s Homecoming 2000 celebrations. Due to ongoing maintenance and operational demands, the museum continued collecting artifacts, but reduced its exhibition space and tours. In February 2010, a group of motivated citizens from the Argyle area began exploring options for operating the museum as a community entity. In November 2010, the museum changed its name to (Settlers, Rails & Trails ) while incorporating as a non-profit organization with the Manitoba Government. In May 2013, SR&T registered with the Canadian Revenue Agency to become an official (Canadian Charity ). SR&T became a member of (Canadian Heritage Information Network ) (CHIN) in March 2014 and host virtual displays at the Canadian Virtual Museum website. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Settlers, Rails & Trails」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
