About
The Sam Waller Museum is a museum in The Pas, Manitoba, dedicated to preserving the history (natural and human) and artifacts of The Pas region of northern Manitoba.
Its collections feature and build off of those of founder Sam Waller (1894-1978), including history related to First Nations, fur trading, mining, transportation (from the steamboat to the railway and aviation era). The museum also highlights some past and present community events, most notably the annual Northern Manitoba Trappers' Festival.
The museum is located in the former Community Building and Court House in downtown The Pas, which was built in 1916 and is now a provincial-designated heritage building. Travel Manitoba has designated the Sam Waller Museum as a Manitoba "Star Attraction" since December 2004, joining Pisew Falls and the Town of Churchill as one of only three such designated attractions in the north.
