About Museum Of The Highwood
Our story is stronger than any disaster. If history has one lesson to teach us, it’s the importance of looking beyond the present. In the past decade alone, the Museum of the Highwood has faced fire, pandemic, and the disastrous 2013 High River flood, and through it all, we have relied on the strength and dedication of our team, volunteers, and our community to keep our history alive. From the challenges of today to the possibilities of the future, we look forward to preserving and sharing our story for generations to come.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ For a small town they certainly are attractive to film companies. Kevin Costner, filmed, “Let Him Go”,Clint Eastwood, made an editing/“dailies review studio” out of the local playhouse, when he made “Unforgiven”.
“Fargo”, of Netflix fame filmed here, as did the series “Tin Star”, which made the museum a police station setting.
Heartland of course has its home here and in the surrounding territory. W.O. Mitchell made this town his home.
Those were just a few of the highlights of our visit to the museum, but don’t forget to visit the local eateries/coffee houses for some personable service and tasty treats.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great place to stop to learn about the history of High River and Southern Alberta. A must stop if you're in the area. Excellent venue as well. You can just feel the history of all the passengers that traveled through that old train station. If the walls could talk...

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Your HEARTLAND pilgrimage should begin here! This amazing museum is located in the historic railway station in High River AB. The museum is staffed by a dedicated team of knowledgeable local talent that is willing and able to assist you in getting the most out of your trip to Hudson.
The museum is accessed through a donation. Upon entering there are plenty of very interesting displays that inform the visitor of all the past and recent history of the High River (Real) and Hudson (Fictitious) locales.
Parking is ample and accessible. Washroom facilities are available for patrons.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It was a lovely experience visiting the museum. The staff was great. They welcomed me when I enters the building and made sure to thank me and say goodbye as I left. They were great at knowing all about heartland and showing on a map other cool interesting filming sites within the town. They had some great recommendations for places to get coffee and food within the town. There was a heartland quiz that was challenging as there were questions from earlier season I couldn’t remember. I am really glad I took the 45 minute drive from Calgary to see this museum.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The guy who helped us was SO helpful, went above and beyond. Walked us through all the ways we could see some of the things we were interested in. And answered every question with utmost patience. He even told us good restaurants to go to and then looked them up for us to make sure there was the dietary options we needed. Would go again.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The staff at the Museum of the Highwood went above and beyond to make our High River visit exceptional!
Maps, suggestions and updated information (and more...) all contributed to making my niece's Heartland tour extra special.
The displays are incredible, and thoughtfully curated.
If you're wanting to add a special touch to your trip, I'd highly recommend stopping in. If you can, remember to bring cash for the "by donation" offering in exchange for your visit.
