In the early 1900s, Medicine Hat’s clay factories distributed stoneware and pottery as far away as Australia. Today, the iconic 1912 Medalta Potteries factory is a National Historic Site, gift shop and museum, providing opportunities for visitors to learn about turn of the century industrial life. Step inside a rare beehive kiln, explore the old factory and see first-hand how pottery is made in the Working Pottery. Explore the museum at your own pace and meet our costumed interpreters along the way. Open year-round, this is a must-see destination in Medicine Hat.

Saamis Tepee

Our most visible landmark the world’s tallest tepee! Originally constructed for the Calgary 1988 Olympics, this 20 story high structure is a tribute to Canada’s First Nations people. Below the tepee in scenic seven persons coulee lies an important archaeological site where hundreds of bison were butchered and their meat processed. Located near the visitor information centre just off of the Trans Canada Highway.
