Discover Yorkton's Story

Heritage

Yorkton’s first passenger railway station, built in 1892 for the Manitoba and North Western Railway, later for the Canadian Pacific Railway. After CPR built a new station in 1910, this station was moved off to the side of the yard. In 1930, it was turned into a house at 169 Second Avenue South, making it the oldest house still standing in Yorkton.

Much of Yorkton's heritage is deeply embedded in the culture of the community. Heritage is publicly accessible for everyone to interact with and learn, both in person and digitally.

Yorkton has many beautiful, historic buildings and monuments which are an important part of our history and identity. Some of our unique buildings have been designated as municipal heritage properties.

With detailed documentation, we have been able to create local history books and tours for residents and visitors to experience and learn about the rich history of Yorkton.
