Ancient Echoes Interpretive Centre

ANCIENT ECHOES INTERPRETIVE CENTRE is nestled at the junction of the Coalmine Ravine and the Eagle Creek and offers both indoor and outdoor tours of our Paleontology sites (dinosaur and fossil displays and dig), Prairie Grasslands Ecology (virgin prairie medicine, food, plants, animals in the wild, and taxidermy displays), and Indigenous History (petroglyphs, rock formations, effigies, archaeological digs, ceremonial circles, a buffalo jump, a food processing site, tool artifacts, and pottery making displays). A permanent art exhibition by Metis artist, Jo Cooper, expresses a visual and oral story with “The Disappearance and Resurgence of the Buffalo”. Additionally, sculptures outside the centre stimulate the imagination as well as humour.

We are now closed for the summer season, we want to thank anyone who booked a tour with us! If you are interested in an off-season tour, please reach out via email. Off-season tours are not garunteed and rely on available volunteers.  Bookings can be made by emailing anciente@sasktel.net. Our Valley View Tea Room is run by volunteers and is open some Thursdays from 2:30- 4:30 p.m. Our Tea Room dates will be posted in the future. nbsp;

Ancient Echoes is a popular site for School Tours throughout the year offering custom-designed programs for students of all ages in the areas of Aboriginal History, Paleontology, Ecology, and Archaeology.

Ancient Echoes also offers regular summer programs including traditional pottery making, drum making, ecology and paleontology hikes, full moon walks, educational and craft days for children, as well as numerous other “ project” days. A video of the ravine walk is available indoors for “rainy days”, or for those who do not wish to hike.
