Beaumont & District Heritage Society/La société d'histoire de Beaumont Our mission is to preserve the history of Beaumont and area and to enhance educational, cultural and recreational activities for the visiting public.

Our current project is to save the historical St. Jacques House, located on 50th Avenue (beside the cemetery) in Beaumont, AB. The house was built in 1912 and we are planning to move it to Beacon Park in the Beau Val neighbourhood of Beaumont to serve as a heritage centre. We are currently fundraising to achieve a goal of $100,000.
