Morse Museum & Cultural Centre
This public museum, housed in a large, majestic brick 1912 schoolhouse, was designated Municipal Heritage Property in 1981, and was thus saved from demolition.
The town of Morse now owns the building, and is administered by the Morse Cultural and Heritage Association, who have won many awards for the adaptive reuse of the building. The beautiful old school is once again a hub of activity and a focal point in our small town, continuing to serve the community as a learning institution.

School tours are a very important part of their activities, and rooms are rented for meetings and classes. While one tours the spacious facility, you can take time for tea in the Victorian Heritage Parlour, shop at the gift shop, “Country Cupboard Gifts”, selling only Saskatchewan made arts and crafts. The art gallery features works from artists both local and abroad.
The museum houses thousands of interesting artefacts detailing the history of the pioneer ere in the West. A replica of a 1912 classroom, and authentic kitchen, living room and bedroom, are just some of the things featured here.

Reed Lake
Morse is a bird watcher and nature lover’s paradise! Conservation agencies such as the Canadian Wildlife Service and Saskatchewan Wetlands Conservation Corporation have helped to get Reed Lake (south of Morse, is seven miles long) as well as the Chaplin/Old Wives/Quill Lake systems designated as a Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network Site

Morse’s tourism committee, Wing’s Over Water, is currently working on an ecotourism project geared for bird watching, photographic and educational opportunities. The Chaplin/Old Wives/Quill Lake is part of what is known as the Missouri Coteau, and an important water system for some of the thirty-one migratory shorebird species that stop here. It is an important stop for them on their migratory route, as the wind pushes water across the sparsely vegetated shoreline, and when it dies down, the mud flats are rich in small invertebrates that become exposed, providing an ample source of food. Some of these birds come from the southern tip of South America, and in a pattern repeated for thousand of years, many of them flying over 5000 kilometres at a time, it is very important that their needs be met. After feeding and resting, they continue on their way to their nesting grounds in the Arctic.
The lakeshore and surrounding land are also home to a number of resident shorebird species, such as the long-billed curlew, the rare and endangered piping plover, and the marbled godwit.
As this is a new expansion, there are constant new developments in progress. This is a very exciting development, and the opportunities here are plentiful.

CPR Dam Site
- Built in approximately 1905, to store water for the CPR tower located adjacent the railway tracks and the Elkhorn Hotel.
- The water supply was necessary to fuel steam engines that chugged along the mainline. This site was also the first Chinese laundry although it was never used.
- Also was used as a popular swimming hole on a hot prairie summer day.
- The timbers and quarry were brought in from British Columbia and long spikes fastened the timber together.
- Currently the dam is home to numerous wildlife, a favourite of the local kids for winter fun and summer pudding!
 

Jubilee Theatre
Established in 1955, the Jubilee Theatre is located in the Town of Morse office, which still houses the original projection equipment.
