Ghost town Saskatchewan - Pheasant Forks
Pheasant Forks was an agricultural colony formed by Methodist settlers from Yorkshire England and Ontario in 1882.
The two-room school was built in 1920 and is the third school to be built in the community. It was closed in 1947 due to declining enrolment.
The church was built in 1905 which replaced one built in 1883. Regular services ended in 1963.
The church, school, and historic marker are all that is left of the former colony.

Heavy Duty Pickup Truck
At the entrance to a farm yard near Wymark, Saskatchewan.
A heavy duty Mercury M-350 pickup truck. Looks mostly original to the day it was built.
