The Will House/Colonial Apartments  Fred PaytonPrince Albert Historical SocietyIn his book, Prince Albert the First Century, Gary Abrams refers to the years 1910 – 1913 as the Boom Years.  In a single week in March, 1910, more land changed hands than in the previous two years. Much of this activity resulted from the expectation that the Hudson Bay and Pacific Railway had surveyed 150 miles between the city and Churchill, Manitoba.

Museum Musings: R.D. Brooks Frequently the Brooks name has been in the local news over the past few weeks.

At that time, were you to hear someone speak of R.D., you automatically knew that they were referring to R.D. Brooks. Brooks being a fairly common name, it was not until a recent conversation with Donna that I connected the two Brooks families.Ruggles D.
