Smoky Lake CN Museum As you stand on the wooden platform of the CN Station, you can imagine yourself back in 1919 when the building was new and the town was a buzz – you can almost hear the whistle of that first train. Walking through the wooden front door you are greeted by a pot-bellied stove which warmed many awaiting passengers during a chilly winter’s day. To the left, the ticketmaster’s wicket awaits you. Long ago a return ticket to Edmonton cost $1.95. Take a peek at a telegraph, log book, or the baggage room with its assortment of baggage on the trolley just waiting to be loaded onto the train by the baggage handler. View the partial historical Gavinchuk photo collection that is displayed in the baggage room of the CN Station. The CNR Station is home to our Tourist Booth which is an ideal place to visit and acquire brochures for information on Smoky Lake and the surrounding area.

Smoky Lake Museum is located south of the intersection of Highway 28 and Secondary Highway 855.The building used to be the Victoria School which dates back to one of the oldest school districts in the area. Among the many displays in the Museum are artifacts and antiques including farm machinery. The Pakan Ferry is situated in front of the Museum and was restored in 1999. More recent restorations have been added to preserve this unique treasure. The Smoky Lake and District Cultural Society volunteers put out a warm welcome to all visitors in the area and encourage everyone to tour the Museum when in town. In 1983, many hardworking volunteers collaborated and put together a History Book called "Our Legacy" – an excellent book of stories and pictures of the settlers in and around Smoky Lake. The book is now available on DVD. Hours Open Victoria Day to Labor Day Open Pumpkin Fair- 1st Saturday in October Saturdays 10:00 am to 5:00 pm Sundays 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm Admission is by donation.
