History

Once a farmhouse built in 1924, the Bentley Museum is home to approximately 4,000 artifacts that depict the way of life of the first Central Albertan settlers since 1898. When exploring the place, you can find typewriters, cameras, photos, military artifacts, telephone equipment and much more!

The museum has a “touch and use” philosophy, meaning that visitors can get their hands on some of the items and get a first-hand experience of how the items were used back in the days. There is also an Earth Sciences and Geological collection that contains paleontological and fossil collections. Visit the website to view their hours of operation.
