Grande Prairie Museum & Heritage Village — Attraction in Grande Prairie

This is a fairly large Museum and it has some interesting material on Grand Prairie. They have an indoor exhibits section with good signage. A small section on dinosaur bones and minerals and ores in a large outdoor townscape exhibit. Most of the buildings were well restored with examples of conditions of the period. The most unique piece of equipment on display was mislabeled as a road grader there was actually a tool used to pick up the dirt and put it into a wagon. This is the only example of equivalent I've seen that it is an excellent condition. It is paired with an old wooden bottom dump wagon that would have been used on constructing the roads and do Grand Prairie. Picking up the dirt the road grader has put into row and putting it into a wagon had to be something commonly done in the past but this is the only surviving example of the piece of equipment that would do it that I have seen. When they correctly label it I think it's the gym of their Museum. They have an outdoor shed with older equipment you can look at it as well and everything is well capped in most of the exhibits meticulously restored. This museum is worth your time if you're not too...

I, personally, have always loved this museum. It really houses a great variety of artifacts that offer the visitors a sense of what early life in the Peace country was like. For instance, Isabel Campbell's little house...ask how and why her father actually chose Grande Prairie for his little family, how Isabel grew up in the Peace Country, what needs she saw existed and what she later on decided to do about those needs. Not only is her home sitting on the Museum grounds but she, at the end of her long life, and in addition to the home, willed many of her possessions to the Museum. I really could go on and on but, I will not, ... this time. Rather, I urge everyone to keep in mind that it really is a treat to go and spend a number of hours in this particular...

What an awesome museum! We were visiting Grande Prairie and this museum was close by to where we were staying. It’s a gem of a place! The people working there are so friendly and welcoming, they even have scavenger hunts for the children to do which my daughter loved, next time I think I’ll grab one for myself. They even have prizes once they complete the scavenger hunt! The shop in there has a bunch of cool things you can buy on your way out, and the museum runs on donations, so there isn’t a financial barrier for anyone who wants to go! What an amazing thing for a museum to do, definitely support this...
