🏛️ | Anthony Henday Museum

Step into Delburne’s past at the charming and historic Anthony Henday Museum, located right on Main Street in Delburne. Housed in the town’s former CNR railway station, the museum offers a rich and detailed look into pioneer life in Central Alberta.

🧺 On the main floor, explore exhibits that honour the resilience of pioneer women, including displays on household life, agriculture, business, and the coal mining industry.

🛏️ Upstairs, see the former station agent’s living quarters, featuring personal artifacts and a cozy sitting area.

⛏️ The upper floors of the iconic eight-sided building guide you through early Delburne businesses, textile work, laundry, and a recently renovated tool display—creatively arranged around the original float system of the structure.

🚂 Outside, take in the historic 1930 CNR water tower, a restored 1906 schoolhouse, and new exhibits showcasing early pharmacy and medical care, a tribute to Anthony Henday, and a wide selection of agricultural equipment.

Whether you're passionate about prairie life, local history, or just love a good story, the Anthony Henday Museum invites you to explore, discover, and feel right at home.

📍 Main Street, Delburne
🗓️ Open for the season—you would be most welcome.
