REVEAL TIME! 🍯🐝✨

We loved reading all of your hilarious "wrong answers" over the weekend—some of those ideas were brilliant!
The real answer: This item is an antique honey extractor! 🐝

Honeycomb frames are placed inside the metal drum, and cranking the handle spins the baskets at high speeds. Centrifugal force flings the honey out of the comb and onto the inside walls of the tub, where it collects at the bottom without damaging the wax frames. 🍯🌾

Take a close look at this vintage gadget found right here at Pioneer Acres. We want you to tell us WHAT THIS IS... but there’s a catch: WRONG ANSWERS ONLY! 🤫

Is it a 1920s ice cream maker? A pioneer fidget spinner? An original treadmill for farm cats?
Drop your funniest, creative, and most ridiculous guesses in the comments below! 👇
We’ll reveal the actual answer on Monday. Have fun and happy guessing! 🎉

THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS! 💙🌾

Back in June, the team from RBC (Royal Bank of Canada) stopped by Pioneer Acres to present us with an incredible $3,000 donation!
Community support is the heartbeat of our museum, and donations like this allow us to continue educating visitors, running our historic equipment, and preserving Western Canadian history. 🚜

A massive thank you to RBC for investing in our community and supporting Pioneer Acres! 🏛️✨

Sharing history near and far! 🌾🚜✨

Last weekend (Aug 22 & 23), Pioneer Acres headed to Heritage Park for their Workin' For the Weekend event!

Our team hosted live "Thresh Afresh!" demonstrations using our 1/3 scale 1927 Advance Rumley Thresher and 1/3 scale 1917 OilPull Rumley tractor. It was an amazing weekend connecting with visitors, handing out grain samples, and sharing what Pioneer Acres is all about!

And yes—WE ARE STILL OPEN! 🌾
Our museum grounds in Irricana are open through September, so there’s plenty of time left to bring the family out for a day of rural Alberta history.

Thank you to our volunteers for bringing a piece of Pioneer Acres to the city! 👏

CALLING ALL CLASSIC CAR & HISTORY ENTHUSIASTS! 🚘🌾

This Sunday, August 30th, Pioneer Acres is excited to host the Studebaker Drivers Club (Pacific Can-Am Zone Meet)!

The public is warmly invited to come out, wander the grounds, and admire a fantastic lineup of classic Studebaker vehicles from across Canada and the U.S. 🇨🇦🇺🇸

Fun historical fact: long before Studebaker made iconic automobiles, they built wooden farm wagons—and we actually have one right here on display on our grounds! (Donated in memory of Elmer Mason by Phyllis & Glen Mason from Davidson, Sask.) 🌾

It’s a perfect match of classic motoring history meeting our agricultural roots.

📅 When: Sunday, August 30th
📍 Where: Pioneer Acres Museum, Irricana
🎟️ Admission: Open to the public during regular museum hours!

Bring the family, enjoy a walk around the grounds, and check out these beautiful pieces of automotive history!
