The Original Humboldt Site west of the city is continuing to take shape as a key piece of the area's history.

Once housing the first European settlers to the region as well as being the base for about 500 soldiers for a month during the 1885 resistance the Museum staff is working to preserve it's heritage.

Supervisor Jean Price has more to add.

"When you go out there it used to look just like a field, it was uninteresting unless you knew were things were so our committee has been working on adding some installations to help tell those stories and give a more visual impact to those stories."

The installations she is referring to at the Canadian Heritage Site is the construction of a replica log cabin as well as a telegraph line showcasing communication of the time.

"We have a cabin that represents a telegraph cabin that is actually built quite similarly to the shape of the cabin originally because we are very fortunate to have photos of that."

Another project in the works is a natural native grassland development that was actually recognized by the Communities in Bloom judges this summer when they were touring the city. Geocaching has become popular in the summer months at the site west of Humboldt as well.

Price predicts 2017 to be a big year as the site will play a key role in celebrating the 150th year of Canada.

Prior to that though she does encourage anyone to visit.

"It's an open air site so maybe a day like Tuesday isn't the best day to go out there but when it is sunny and bright we have some trails marked and Conexus Credit Union has also helped us by sponsoring some walkways so that we are able to get across some of the muddy areas and allow access to some of the farther points of the site. You are free to go out there whenever you like."

If you do want to visit, head west on Highway 5 and look for the "Telegraph Road" sign and head south.
