Wetaskiwin Heritage Museum - all about Wetaskiwin History


Museum Facilities


Children's Legacy Centre

This completely interactive one-room school set in pioneer times is located in the lower level of the Wetaskiwin and District Heritage Museum, in the Children's Legacy Centre.

The Children's Legacy Centre, located on the lower level of our historic building, is a unique, hands-on permanent exhibit showcasing pioneer life. Children can use the old-fashioned pump, try out the wash-board & wringer, collect eggs, and serve tea. Kids are invited to experience a one-room schoolhouse, visit a pioneer kitchen, and explore other rooms while dressed in period clothing!

The Children's Legacy Centre is perfect for school field trips, birthday parties, and your family's next visit to the Museum!

The Children's Legacy Centre is also home to the Summer Programs for Kids.
