Does anyone out there know the progress of the building supposedly being built to house the Kyle Moore collection?

Ward you are correct it is heritage park.and yes it is a museum.dedicated to petrolina

Where is it located?

this located in Calgary Alberta

Heritage park is in calgary if you ever get a chance to go it is worth it. It would compare to a smaller scale henry ford village. The petro stuff has been donated by Mr Ron Carey and had been in a two story barn. The barn was a called gasoline alley and was to be a one year exibit in 1994 but is still on display.

I wonder if there will ever be a way to view the exibit from outside the actual going there? I for one awill never get to see Canada . im on a fixed income and my traveling days are for all purposes are over. Ed shaver

when the exibit opens in spring of 09, I will take a series photos and post them for members to look at

Bringing this bask up to the top

I hear heritage park opened april fourth? Did you get a sneak preview with the club? I read an article in the paper that said it is 15000 sq feet and has a 150 seat rest theater brew pub ect but they said that ther are 28 gas pumps. I thought they were moving the stuff from burns barn there must be at least 28 pumps there? If you get a chance to pust some pictures that would be great.

ward

Hi Ward. Went down on my own to see, it's 10 minutes from my house. I counted at least 76 pumps, I think I missed a few. there are Interactive thinks to do, It has a resturant. tanker truckes, cars, to much to list. I'll post a few photos right now and then I'm having Easter supper, might get back on later

Thanks Andre

I thought that sounded funny when the article in the paper said 28 pumps. Looks like a beautiful building with lots of restored pumps. I like the fact that it is a year round facility.

WOW that is SWEET
