Remington Carriage Museum

Myself and my sister did a short RV trip and visited this museum. We are interested in history and found it very interesting. Enough so that I returned and volunteered for a couple of weeks. This is a great museum if you want to add some history to your experiences .

This Museum is beautiful inside and out.
We were welcomed by a very nice lady and the prices aren’t that high to enter into the museum. They even offer Carriage rides to go behind the creek! (totally worth it to be honest)
The layout of the museum and how the carriages are displayed is wonderfully done! You can really see the history and evolution of the carriages.
The gift shop by the front door is cute, you will definitely take something home with you after experiencing the rich history from this museum.
10/10 would definitely go again.
Great place to go with family and kids.

Another adventure yesterday to Cardston Alberta, home of the Remington Carriage Museum (220 km from my home in Calgary, close to the Montana border). This museum is outstanding, and is the largest carriage museum in the world.... really big place would not be overstated. Mr Don Remington was the visionary......an amazing individual. Google him if you like.. The hospitality of the staff was superb. Our guided tour (approximately 40 minutes in duration) was well done. The gentleman (I am so sorry for forgetting his first name) was thoroughly knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the amazing collection housed in this beautiful museum. He was outstanding!

As big as this place is, it still could be larger to provide the vast collection even more justice. It is difficult to see anything displayed on the second and third shelves. The very first piece (sleigh) that Mr. Remington restored, and what is arguably the raison d'etre for the museum today, is located in an obscure location on the third shelf in the main area. In my humble opinion it should be at the entrance where the McLaughlin display is located. It should be a showcase item because of it's inherent importance as the story essentially commenced with this priceless item in all it's banged up, taped together glory.

George Woolf, the legendary jockey who rode Sea Biscuit to victory over Triple Crown Winner War Admiral (unless you have lived under a rock and have not seen the 2003 movie Sea Biscuit you know who I am talking about) was born in Cardston, and is a feature at this museum.

I highly recommend a visit to this spectacular museum.

Wonderful place to see. A great history lesson in every aisle you go down. Some amazing exhibits, you can spend days looking and reading all the information. Helpful, friendly staff. A great family day event.

This place is full of history the carriages have a lot of information. Love the carriage rides which add to the overall experience. Plenty to see you could easily spend 2 hours here. Parking is included. They accept payment by credit card and even American Express.

OMG! I ve never seen such a beautiful museum ever before. If you have couple of days off, please go for a drive and take your kids and family. I loved seeing/visiting the museum.

Most Carriages in one place it just reminds you of when you were young and you went for a sleigh rides with horses pulling it's amazing how just a 120 years ago how people traveled. Well worth the trip

Absolutely beautiful carriages. It was something my partner wanted to check out the next time we were near Cardston. I am very glad we stopped by. We even had a chance to go for a carriage ride. Definitely worth going.
