Enjoy a guided tour of the Hanna Roundhouse! The efforts of the Hanna Roundhouse Society and volunteers are preserving prairie railroad stories, bringing Canadian heritage to life. History exhibits with railroader stories, memories & photos shared by family members offer a good read; Walk in the engine bays where steam locomotives & machinists/ welders/mechanics/maintenance workers created unique “relationships” between man & machine. Sit in an authentic 1930 railroad section man’s speeder once used for track inspection & service work; Walk across the 90′, 1920 locomotive turntable seen in the rock band, Nickleback’s hit video “Photograph” (original band members grew up in the Town of Hanna.) Schools and private groups are also welcome for tours.
Imagine booking an event in a 1913 Railway Roundhouse where steam locomotives once stood? A wedding, a concert? Prairies Can/ Harvest Sky 2025 Indoor Washrooms & Ready Room were welcomed by many!
