Sunnybrook
Farm
Museum
Purchased in 1899 by pioneer settlers James & Catherine Bower, the
museum was created in 1988 when their youngest son Norman Bower
donated the land to be a place for people to experience and learn about
the early history of rural life in Central Alberta. Come find your rural roots
as you explore Red Deer’s oldest farm. Imagine the lives of pioneer farm
families working in the field, milking the family cow in the dairy barn,
repairing a plow in the blacksmith shop, or baking bread in the summer
kitchen.
