Museum Facilities
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.
Resource Library
The Museum's non-lending Resource Library,
located on the main floor, is available for public use. There is a large collection of Alberta History Books, including Community history and some familiy histories. Please ask a staff member if you would like access to the library.
Wheelchair Accessibility
Visitors disembark at the main entrance. The Heritage Museum has no barriers to entering the building from Main Street. Once inside, an elevator bypasses the stairways to the lower level and second floor. A wheelchair accessible washroom is also available on our main floor.
Camera/Media Policy
