About
The Torrington Gopher Hole Museum, also known as the World Famous Gopher Hole Museum, located in Torrington, Alberta, features 77 stuffed gophers posed to resemble townspeople in 44 intricately designed dioramas. Roughly 7–10,000 people visit the museum every year. While it is open primarily during the summer months, they will open by request. Dioramas depict gophers as hunters, firefighters, cosmetologists, priests, bank robbers, RCMP officers, pool players, and First Nations people. From its opening day until recently, the World Famous Gopher Hole Museum charged $2 for adults and 50 cents for children. With the loss of revenue resulting from the pandemic and soaring expenses, the museum has switched to a "by donation" model.
