WOULD YOU LIKE TO HELP? - The Didsbury Museum is always looking for enthusiastic people who enjoy working with the public. Perhaps you would like to host on a Saturday. The museum regularly needs help behind the scenes assisting with displays, dusting, gardening or general maintenance. If you are interested, contact Museum Manager, Dawn Stewart, at 403-335-9295.
 In the spirit of respect, reciprocity and truth, we honour and acknowledge the traditional Treaty 7 territory and oral practices of the Blackfoot confederacy: Siksika, Kainai, Piikani as well as the Nakoda and Tsuut'ina nations. We acknowledge that this territory is home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3 within the historical Northwest Métis homeland. Finally, we acknowledge all Nations, indigenous and non, who live, work and play and help us steward this land, honour and celebrate this territory. This sacred gathering place provides us with an opportunity to engage in and demonstrate leadership on reconciliation. |
The Didsbury Museum is owned and operated by the Didsbury and District Historical Society. The building was constructed in 1907 as a school, and was designated a Provincial Historic Site in 1997. Fondly called the "Old Red Brick School", the building was also home to the first free library in Alberta. In 1918, the school was used as a hospital during the Spanish Flu epidemic, and a yard for the military troops. At more than 8,665 square feet, the Didsbury Museum is one of the largest museums in Mountain View County! Our gorgeous ceilings are 13 feet high! There are 16 rooms including offices and washrooms, 10 of which are complete exhibit rooms. As well as the individual rooms, our hallways are full of displays focusing on our local area heritage. Our Signature Exhibits include over 10,000 artifacts organized on three floors!
The Didsbury Museum welcomes people of all abilities, ages, backgrounds, and life experiences. We'd love to have you Become a Member! If you would like to rent the Museum for a committee meeting, off-hours tour, or to hold your wedding in our beautiful chapel, please contact our Museum Manager by e-mail to office@didsburymuseum.ca or by phone to 403-335-9295. |
