About The Brooks and District Museum and Historical Society

Alberta’s Centennial City

Alberta’s Centennial City has a history built on agriculture, oil and gas, and pure willpower. Along the way, Brooks & District was home to many influential and interesting figures with fascinating stories worth telling. At the Brooks & District Museum we’ve collected and preserved those stories, presenting Southern Alberta Cultural Heritage to visitors since we first opened our doors in 1974.

Join us for a journey through time and dive deeper into the rich history of the area. Come out feeling inspired, educated, and eager to visit again.
