This museum, located in Sprague in the Rural Municipality of Piney, opened in June 2006. It is open from mid-June to early September, from 1:00 to 5:00 PM on Saturdays and Sundays. On the grounds of the museum is a monument, erected in 2012, commemorating local men and women who served Canada during the First World War, Second World War, foreign wars, and peacekeeping missions.
A mill office for E. Holmgren & Son Limited, now preserved at the museum, was built after the Second World War as part of the family's expanding business that included a general store, car dealership, garage, and grain farm. Another building at the museum is the Sprague Full Gospel Fellowship founded in 1932.
