An exhibit in front of the Fire Hall in Winkler is the community’s first new fire truck, a 1950 three-ton Ford. Sold in 1978 to the fire department at Darlingford, it was used until 2004, after which it was returned to Winkler and refurbished. Nearby is an old village bell from 1906 that now sits in a replica tower.
