Cochrane Alberta - the Cochrane Historical Archival Preservation Society (CHAPS) has found a way to share a piece of the museum with residents.
 
The museum has teamed up with the Cochrane Public Library to present a pop-up museum display.
 
"We had a diorama made by Diane and David Hardiman of the grain elevator and the original train station in Cochrane. We asked the library if they would be willing to display it for us. The unique display is a perfect scale miniature, and we did a lot of research to make sure we had it in the right place. The station was on the north side of the tracks and had living quarters. It's where Home Hardware is now located. The grain elevator was put in a little farther west on the south side of the road."
 
The water tank that was used for the steam trains is also in the diorama, and Ferguson says that the tank was sold to Mount Saint Francis for collecting water at the retreat.
 
Next to the diorama, there is a poster board with pictures so you can see the original buildings.
