The Innisfail Historical Village is located 2.5 blocks west of the water tower on 42 Street and 52 Avenue. It is open from 11 to 5:30, Wednesday to Sunday, from the middle of May to Labour Day. We are open statutory holidays and all other times are by appointment. The governing authority is the Innisfail and District Historical Society. There is no admission fee though donations are gratefully accepted.

The collection at the museum consists of two acres of land with 17 pioneer buildings, including "Spruces," the only original stopping house between Calgary and Edmonton. The buildings are furnished to interpret the history of the area up until the 1940's and there is also a collection of farm machinery. The museum has tea every Friday in the Tea Room from 2 to 4, starting on the first Friday in June until the first Friday in September. Special activities include Canada Day, the Fiddlers' Jamboree and Strawberry Festival, the Harvest Festival, and Octoberfest. The tea room, heritage room, and church are available for rentals.
