Last updated: 8/6/2008Medicine Hat Clay Industries National Historic District
The working pottery is a re-creation of part of the Medalta factory, which operated in the first half of the 20th century. Visitors can see first-hand how pottery is made and speak with the workers. All ware made in the Working Pottery is sold in the Histori Clay District Gift Shop, adding extra meaning to the term "locally made".
The Turning Room Gallery is a vibrant, dynamic space with unique displays, original factory machinery (including the worlds' biggest crocks) and hands-on activities that will keep visitors entertained for hours. The Turning Room, which was excavated in 2006, also allows visitors to go subterranean and see the unique underbelly of a 100 year old brick factory.
Medalta Potteries and the other clay factories in Medicine Hat once producedware that was so popular, it was often hard to keep up with demand. Now, more than 30 years after the initial restoration effort was undertaken, the Historic Clay District is one of Alberta's unique destinations and a point of pride for Hatters as they celebrae their own unique heritage.
The Historic Clay District is one of eight attractions in the Canadian Badlands, is featured in AMA's "Alberta 100 Journeys", and is Western Canada's largest National Historic Site. The District museum - in the Medalta Potteries National Historic Site - provides visitors a unique opportunity to visit a restored 1912 pottery factory, which once produced three-quarters of all stoneware in Canada. It is operated under the stewardship of the Friends of Medalta Society.
