  • Ghostown Blues Bed & Breakfast, Highway 271, 1 km west of Maple Creek, SK. This is one of two sheep wagons. This wagon required little restoration, as it had been well preserved by a covering that was put over it many years ago. Contents are authentic, including the bed (but with modern mattress), stove, benches, pull-out table, track lamp, shelf, and towel racks. End walls originally were canvas, but Greg replaced with wood because he liked the way it looked. Greg Hisey on the lantern by the door: "That's a CPR coach car light. (It would have been on the) inside of a coach on the CPR railroad, on a passenger car."

  • Historic log cabin (L) and Homestead cabin (R), Ghostown Blues Bed & Breakfast, Highway 271, 1 km west of Maple Creek, SK. <br />
<br />
<br />
This cabin was originally a cowboy's line shack. On the big ranches, cowboys would stay at these shacks on the prairie when they couldn't make it home at night, Greg Hisey says.<br />
<br />
<br />
The settlers' cabin in the background was moved into Maple Creek from northeast of town. A previous owner told Hisey that it was moved to a school for a time and used by the schoolmarm. Like many old prairie cabins, this had been moved into town. But unlike most, it was too small to be converted to a garage, so it remained relatively intact all these years.

  • Fort Walsh National Historic Site, Saskatchewan.<br />
<br />
We arrived in time to take a bus from the interpretive centre to the fort, instead of walking. The bus travels slowly, with the driver describing historical events and pointing out locations such as the cemetery and the original townsite. The cemetery is still there, but there is little sign of the former town. It was never expected to be permanent, so most buildings were built on log foundations, which quickly rotted away. The town was abandonned when the railway went through Maple Creek.<br />
<br />
At the fort, guides dress in period costume and tell stories of NWMP life, and the Cypress Hills Massacre. Younger visitors receive uniforms representing NWMP constables. They're given tasks similar to what recruits would have done in the late 1800s, and they are asked to round up and "arrest" "fugitives" identified among the adult visitors. Everyone then participates in a mock trial.

Greg Hisey: "This wagon came from the Capser ranch, Capser, (near) Harlowton, Montana. (The ranch) went from Harlowton to Rygate. Bill Capser was 82 years old  when I got this wagon."<br />
<br />
The wagon was used until about 1939, when the Second World War cut off the ranch's supply of Basque sheep herders. The Studebaker running gear dates to 1896."
