Discover your history at the Heritage Museum! Having grown from a small collection of our community’s treasures in the basement of City Hall over 30 years ago, we are now proud to call the century-old Montgomery ‘Star’ Store home. You won’t be able to resist our one-of-kind Pioneer Play Rooms and three floors of exhibits ranging from the time of the dinosaurs to the War Years. Immerse yourself in local history at the Wetaskiwin & District Heritage Museum.
