Several significant heritage properties boasting a wide range of pieces from southwestern Saskatchewan's past are nestled in the heart of a southwest town. The Southwest Saskatchewan OldTimers' Museum & Archive features a series of historic buildings in downtown Maple Creek, namely a nearly a-century-old log cabin. According to Canadian History Ehx, the museum was established in 1926, and the log cabin was built in 1935. Uniquely, the cabin is believed to be the oldest purpose-built museum building in the province. The Southwest Saskatchewan Oldtimers' Museum acts as the steward of three Municipal Heritage Properties that house artifacts, art, cultural heritage, and area-specific history. The Town of Maple Creek shares that the trio of properties include the 1935 Log Museum, the neighbouring CM Glascock Building, which operated as a vehicle dealership from 1909 to 2009, and the WR Orr Building, which was built as the Union Bank of Canada in 1910. The museum was developed to commemorate the culture and spirit of the Cypress Hills area during the integral years between 1870-1918.
