Sukanen Pioneer Village & Ship Museum

 THE SUKANEN PIONEER SHIP MUSEUM

The Sukanen Pioneer Ship Museum is a must-not-miss destination attraction just south of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan on Hwy 2 South. Open from May until October.

This Pioneer Village & Ship Museum is one of the best and most unique museums in Canada in my opinion. Having over 100,000 vintage and antique items to see you will need 3 to 4 hours to get through the Pioneer Village and all the awesome buildings. Take a step back in time at this incredible museum.

The Ship on the corner of the property is Tom Sukanens Ship, which was saved, salvaged, and rebuilt as a monument to the tough Finnish farmer who dreamed of building a ship on the prairies and somehow sailing it home to Finland. His story is captivating and heartbreaking but one of strength and endurance. Take a self-guided tour through Sukanens Ship and read all about his life in a book called Dreams in the Dust or watch the documentary on Tom. DVDs are available at the Museums Gift Shop.
