The Fraser Tims Gift Shop

About the Name

 The Museum's gift shop is named after Fraser Tims, Swift Current's first merchant. Fraser and his brother, William, arrived at Swift Current in December 1882 when the Canadian Pacific Railway reached the creek, and the town site was chosen. He erected a wooden storefront and left his brother to watch the business over the business. In the spring of 1883, the Fraser Tims began a steady business supplying the needs of the CPR workers and arranging shipments of goods arriving from the east to destinations in the north via the Battleford Trail. 

The Fraser Tims Gift Shop is located in the Swift Current Museum, and it is one of the best places to find unique gift items such as books, clothing, jewelry, crafts, decorative art pieces, toys, and more.

Souvenir items such as magnets, stickers, and postcards that reflect the beauty of the Swift Current region, as well as distinctive photographic images from the Museum’s collection can be found here.

The gift shop sells a beautiful selection of jewelry, accessories and handcrafted gifts created by local artisans.
