On a road trip from Hamilton,Ont to Vancouver, BC in July 2011 my girlfriend and I stopped in Medicine Hat ,AB and checked out the recently opened but not completed Medalta Museum and tour. There were the two of us and three older ladies who took the tour, one woman's husband and another's father actually worked in the foundry which is now the museum. After the tour we stopped and talked to the curator, a wonderful lady who I'm embarrassed to say I cannot remember her name right now, this nice woman gave my girlfriend and I a private tour of the museum side and what an awesome history lesson that was. After the tour we exchanged emails and vowed to keep in touch if we found something on our travels that wasn't already in the museum collection. I only wish I hadn't got so wrapped up in the museum and had taken more photos, Medalta actually made a lot more than just stoneware crocks. Here are a few photos and a link to the museum. medalta.org
