World’s Largest Wagon Wheel and Pick Axe – Woodlands County

The World’s Largest Wagon Wheel and Pick Axe reflect the rich cultural heritage of the Fort Assiniboine area. The hamlet was a major trade and supply point during the Hudson’s Bay-era and was also an important location during the Klondike Gold Rush.

The site is located next to the Fort Assiniboine Museum and provides for an insightful afternoon of discovery pertaining to the development of Western Canada. Take a stroll down State Ave. to the Fort Assiniboine Museum or to Strawson’s General Store to get your passport stamped.
