About

Prairie Wind & Silver Sage

Prairie Wind & Silver Sage – Friends of Grasslands Inc. is a provincially recognized EcoMuseum housed in Val Marie’s historic schoolhouse that also serves as a gift shop, coffee bar, bookstore, art gallery and visitor centre. We work closely with our partner Grasslands National Park to provide interpretive services for Park visitors. Our museum highlights the unique character of the community and area through a combination of artifacts, mapping, photography, sound and stories, incorporating historical, environmental, and cultural appreciation of both the land and the community. The art gallery exhibits culturally and ecologically relevant work from regional and local artists. We also host speaker series for authors and researchers to share their stories and research with the local community and Park visitors.
