Yardley Jones Tires and Girdle Co. Museum

Yardley Jones Tires and Girdle Co. Museum, located in New Sarepta, offers visitors a quirky local history stop celebrating a beloved Alberta cartoonist. Created by former Edmonton Journal cartoonist Yardley Jones, this fictitious company became famous as a recurring logo in his newspaper cartoons. The real-life building at 5063 Centre Ave now anchors the work of the New Sarepta Historical Society, which has rallied to save this recognizable landmark from demolition and keep its story alive. Travellers can explore the community’s farming roots and learn how Jones’s humour helped put this small town, about 24 km southeast of Edmonton, on the map.
