Best History Museum in West Jasper Place

"While the Government House commands the attention of most people, the Jeongja is not to be missed!. This traditional Korean pavilion, built as a place where people and nature can unite, was gifted to Alberta from the Gangwon Province in Korea in commemoration of Alberta’s centennial and the 30th anniversary of the Alberta-Gangwon twinning relationship to foster agricultural cooperation. Fun fact: the Jeongja is built entirely of wood and stone without nails or screws!"

"As the largest museum in Canada, not to mention new and architecturally beautiful, you definitely shouldn’t miss spending a day at the Royal Alberta Museum (RAM). We say a day because the museum is huge and is full of information. You’ll learn about the First Nations and how they survived these harsh lands, how everything changed with the arrival of the traders, and everything that has shaped Alberta since."

"Reopened in downtown Edmonton in 2018, Royal Alberta Museum is Edmonton’s top museum of natural and human history. The museum is both fun and educational for kids of all ages, as well as adults. I have fond childhood memories of the animal scenes and the indigenous displays at RAM, and fortunately these are still part of big the experience."

"Along the side of the Mercer Warehouse building lives one of the most photogenic spots in our beautiful city — a stunning row of vintage neon signs, lighting up the sky with every colour imaginable. The wall of historic signs tells a story of Edmonton’s past, featuring advertisements from bygone businesses. The neon sign museum is outside, easily accessible, and always open — check it out during daylight or at night for a different kind of glow.Located on 104 Street just north of 104 Avenue"

"This outdoor Edmonton museum is utterly unique and makes for an incredibly fun stop whether you’re a resident of the city or just visiting. With 20 historic neon signs collected by the City of Edmonton, this display is one of the most photographable Edmonton museums in the city. Plaques are found below each sign detailing where the sign once hung, so you can imagine the signs in their original homes."

"The Neon Sign Museum, the first of its kind in Canada, features restored neon signs from Edmonton’s past. There’s 20 neon signs on the east wall of the TELUS building and the south wall of the Mercer Warehouse building on 104 Street and 104 Avenue."

"Located in the northern suburbs, the Alberta Railway Museum (ARM) features a selection of still-operating and static locomotives and rolling stock. Founded in 1976 to preserve the province’s rich railway heritage, the museum features more than 75 engines and railcars, a number of original railway buildings, and many related artifacts. One of the highlights of visiting is having the chance to ride on one of the trains during the summer months."

"If trains and railways fascinate you, the Alberta Railway Museum is one of the best Edmonton museums for you. This outdoor museum is very rustic, but it contains more than 75 train cars and locomotives as well as historical buildings. You can learn about railway history and enjoy a short ride on a vintage train."

"If your kid loves trains or vehicles, then consider paying a visit to the Alberta Railway Museum a short drive northeast of the city. For us, our rides on the High Level Bridge Streetcar and on the train and streetcar at Fort Edmonton Park were enough. The museum is open on summer weekends only."

"John Walter was one of Edmonton’s early entrepreneurs and played an important role in the development of Edmonton. The John Walter Museum displays the three original homes of John Walter. Drop-in programs most Sundays."

"McKay Avenue School is the oldest brick school in Alberta and has Edmonton’s first public school house on premise. What makes McKay Avenue School important is that the first session of the Alberta Legislative Assembly met here after the province was formed. It is open while the roof is being renovated."

"Not far from Edmonton in the charming little town of St. Albert, the Musée Héritage Museum is on the small side of the Edmonton museums list but is still quite popular due to its focus on local exhibits that have shaped Alberta’s history. The exhibits are also frequently changing to keep it fresh and may include anything from the gold rush back in the 1850s to the Banff internment camps. Right now, it’s a great place to learn about the horrible atrocities of residential schools."

"Found just northwest of Edmonton, in St. Albert, the Musée Héritage Museum is a small museum that packs a real punch. With displays that change a few times a year, the focus is always on local exhibits that have shaped Alberta’s history. This means that, at any given time, you can see an exhibit on cultural tattooing of the Northwest, internment camps in Canada, or the 1850s gold rush… it’s always changing and always fresh."
