Discover How the West was Once at Canada’s
largest living history museum, Heritage Park Historical
Village. The Park shares the story of the settlement of
western Canada (1864-1940s) and its impact on the cultural
and social fabric of the West.
Open year-round is the Heritage Town Square and Gasoline
Alley Museum. Immerse yourself in the 30s and 40s as
you explore five shops offering antiques and collectables
and vintage reproduction treasures, as well as an Antique
Portrait Studio. Enjoy a steaming cup of hot coffee
and fresh baking from the Railway Café or celebrate
a special evening at the critically acclaimed Selkirk
Grille, specializing in Canadian cuisine (reservations
recommended). All of this is located in the FREE ZONE.
Then step beyond the gate and discover the world class
Gasoline Alley Museum. This interactive museum is home
to one of the largest public collections of antique
trucks, and oil and gasoline memorabilia. Carefully
designed to inspire both the young and the young at
heart, guests solve a traffic jam, kids learn the rules
of the road on tricycles, enjoy the magic of a drive-in
movie and learn about Alberta’s most notorious
whiskey runner.
From mid-May to mid-October step further back in time
to our 1900 living historical village. Meet fur traders,
railway workers and prairie town folk as you explore
over 150 historic buildings. Visit the grain elevator
to discover how these extinct prairie monoliths worked,
visit the aboriginal encampment and learn how buffalo
meat was cured or try your hand at making ice-cream.
Ride an authentic steam train, relax in a horse drawn
wagon ride or enjoy the thrills of an antique midway!
Heritage Park Historical Village is the perfect place
to connect with those you love and create your own historic
memories.
