Bringing Southern Alberta
heritage to life
Collecting and telling compelling stories to educate and inspire
Come experience the rich and interesting history of Brooks, Alberta.
Whether you’re just passing through or want to stay a night or two, the Brooks & District Museum offers fun for the whole family. Start with a self-guided tour through our buildings. Learn about John Ware, the first Black cowboy in the area and Sarah King, a busy midwife who helped deliver 170 babies in her home. Check out our historic one-room schoolhouse, complete with old-fashioned teaching tools, then stop by our 1930’s Garage to be awed by our Ford “A” Roadster Coupe. Taste a sample of delicious homemade ice cream, get guidance from our fully accredited Visitors Information Centre staff, and explore our gift shop for a unique item by a local artist. Then finish the night reminiscing about the best parts of the day in one of our 27 fully-serviced campsites..
We can’t wait to have you as our guest!

β β β β β A true hidden gem. Filled with artifacts placed in original or composite buildings, this museum gives you a good look into the history of Brooks and reflects what life was probably like through many decades. Instead of simple facts and scientific information, the placards include stories about many of the donors and contributors, people of note in the town's history, and the evolution of Brooks itself, thus making the tour more personal and interesting. If you are going to the dinosaur park, make this your next stop!

β β β β β This museum is absolutely worth a trip! The staff is helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about not only the contents of the museum, but the city and surrounding area. The gift shop has lots of locally made items and are all reasonably priced. The displays themself are well cared for and provide interesting and relevant information about the town's history. Admission was free, with optional donation and I would recommend that anyone travelling through the area makes sure to stop in and check the museum out!
