Saint Ann Ranch Country Inn Museum and Interpretive Centre
The Saint Ann Ranch Museum is located at Highway 21 and Highway 585 in Trochu, Alberta. The collection at the museum is based around the original French cavalry settlement of 1903. This includes many original buildings, such as the stopping place, a blacksmith’s shop, a post office, a 1904 log cabin, and the Sisters of Charity first hospital, school, and chapel. There is a 1905 dairy, as well as letters from 1901 to 1914 depicting life at St. Ann Ranch. The interpretive centre is housed within the original 1910 Frère residence and displays Lorene’s St. Ann Ranch research collection. There is a private collection of over 1,000 photographs at the centre. The museum celebrates special occasions in the tea house and welcomes craft groups on weekends. Tour buses are welcome on the premises, by reservation only.
The Saint Ann Ranch Museum and Interpretive Centre does not currently offer specific education programs, although tours are always available for students
