🥳Happy birthday, Alberta!
On September 1, 1905 Alberta officially became a province and Senator Sir James Lougheed noted it in his diary, which we currently have on display in the Senator's Study here at Lougheed House. James Lougheed was a member of the Canadian Senate at the time and was living in the 14-year-old Lougheed House.

Next time you visit the museum, take a look at his open diary - James noted that it was fine weather on that day and that September 1 was also his birthday!

Light metering is an important task that our Curator handles at least once a week. Whether it's cloudy or bright, morning or evening, it's important to get a full picture of the light exposure to the artifacts on display, and in rooms with especially sensitive artifacts you'll find the windows closed and the shutters shut tight.

Visit the museum at Lougheed House every Thursday-Sunday, 11:30 am to 3:00 pm to explore our exhibits, artifacts, and this stunning historic home.
