Pas
Ka Poo Park houses Rimbey's museum showcase. The
Rimbey Historical Society has painstakingly preserved
the region's heritage with exhibits located in vintage
buildings that were refurbished and brought to the
site.
The
original Kansas Ridge School, Town Office, General
Store, Barbershop, Blacksmith Shop and Church of the
Epiphany are filled with period memorabilia. The main
museum buildings contain a huge variety of wonderful
aritifacts donated by Rimbey pioneers and the original
Bluffton Legion contains a comprehensive exhibit
dedicated to our veterans.
The
park is a favoured place for picnics and family
gatherings and many of the town's special occasions
are celebrated in its picturesque environment.
The
west end of Pas Ka Poo is focused on the industries
that made Rimbey such a success and hosts the annual
Farm and Forest days, complete with demonstrations of
the equipment used in years gone by.
While
it is a separate exhibit, the Smithson International
Truck Museum is also located on the Pas Ka Poo site.
