Norman Wells Historical Centre — Attraction in Norman Wells

Wonderful place. Helpful and friendly staff with a decent knowledge base of handmade items. If you pay shipping, they'll even send items you may not be able to take on your travels with you. Whether you're hunting or canoeing, your items might reach home before you do. It's not a big place, but there's so much information! You could sit all day and watch videos about the construction of the town's interesting oil industry. There's movies of the CANOL trail, making of the artificial islands, the pipeline from there to Alberta. There's videos of canoeing the Keele River and even one about making a moose hide boat. The museum part is filled with fascinating photos and artifacts from older to newer eras. All in all, a wonderful place. Would recommend to family, friends and...
