a
truly historic one with the Tunnels
of Moose Jaw’s guided tours. Con-
structed the late 1800s, the tunnels
housed Chinese railway workers who
were literally driven underground to
O n e Ma n ’ s
Ca s t l e
escape poor treatment at street level.
They survived subterranean winters
only because the tunnels were located
next to heated buildings. In the
1920s, the passageways served a more
nefarious purpose during Prohibition—
as a hideout for outlaws, bootleggers
and all-around ne’er-do-wells. The
narrow corridors became a haven
for gambling, prostitution and
warehousing illegal booze. Today,
visitors can choose from two guided
tours, which Kelly Carty of Tunnels
Moose Jaw describes as “an attraction
blending history and entertainment.”
The interactive tours draw you into
the action to learn about the lair’s
infamous history. On the Passage
to Fortune tour, you become a
Chinese immigrant to better
understand their treatment in the
early 1900s. And in the Chicago
Connection, play the part of a
Prohibition-era bootlegger.
Situated in the heart of Regina, Stone Hall Castle is a European medieval-style castle
built in the 1920s by Francis Nicholson Darke, a Canadian real-estate magnate.
The castle was built with the same limestone that was used for the Saskatchewan
Legislative Building. Visitors can either tour the manor or stay the night. »
