Three of the most prominent were the first meeting between a First Nations people and the North-West Mounted Police (NWMP); the establishment of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP) No.

Mossbank is also the location of the Ambroz Blacksmith Shop and Residence Provincial Heritage Property.

In 1874, during the famous Great March West, the NWMP camped at Old Wives Lake, north of the current location of Mossbank.

Shortly after establishing their campsite, the NWMP were approached by a scout for a group of Sioux refugees.

Mossbank was selected because it has large areas to accommodate bombing and gunnery ranges, and is located near Old Wives Lake, which was also useful for target practice.

Among these buildings, one became the Turvey Centre in Regina and another is now part of the Western Development Museum in North Battleford.

A large historic monument commemorating the base was dedicated in 1999 by the Mossbank and District Museum and the Saskatchewan History and Folklore Society.

[7] In 1957, the Mossbank Community Hall, was the site of a debate between Saskatchewan Premier Tommy Douglas and Ross Thatcher.

Later, in a debate in the House of Commons, Thatcher criticized the Crown corporation policy of Douglas's CCF government in Saskatchewan by describing it as a "dismal failure."

douglas was incensed by Thatcher's remarks and challenged him to debate the issue of Saskatchewan's Crown corporation anywhere and anytime.

[8] In 2003, a historical re-enactment of the 1957 event called "The Debate of the Century," was staged and sold out two performances.

It was designated because it is the oldest known, fully furnished blacksmith shop still on its original site in Saskatchewan.

Since then, after five different owners, three unstable labels and a consecutive run-time of only three months, the factory finally shut its doors forever in the early 2000s.

The community has developed a set of birdwatching trails on the shores of Old Wives Lake north of Mossbank.

Just north of the community, the North-West Mounted Police first met the First Nations peoples during the historic March West which was supposed to deal with the Cypress Hills Massacre.

The Cree people began moving south into traditional Blackfoot territory in search of food and made camp in the hills of Old Wives Lake.

The site of the birdwatching trails south of Old Wives Lake was home to the RCAF gunnery and bombing range during the Second World War.
