Wetaskiwin and District Museum
The Wetaskiwin & District Heritage Museum celebrates the early history of Wetaskiwin and area. The Museum serves the public by documenting and telling the stories of the courageous individuals who settled here to create the city and district.
Visitors have year-round access to the Museum to enjoy special events and view displays. There is always something new to see at the Museum, as displays are changed, enhanced, and improved.
Group and school tours are welcome and children’s programs are continually being expanded and developed. The Museum hosts hundreds of elementary school students each year in the Children’s Legacy Centre. Programs have been designed to enhance the curriculum of Grades K to 4. These school programs enable youngsters to experience life as it was for the early pioneers.
