The Didsbury Museum is owned and operated by the Didsbury and District Historical Society. The building was constructed in 1907 as a school, and was designated a Provincial Historic Site in 1997. Fondly called the "Old Red Brick School", the building was also home to the first free library in Alberta. In 1918, the school was used as a hospital during the Spanish Flu epidemic, and a yard for the military troops. At more than 8,665 square feet, the Didsbury Museum is one of the largest museums in Mountain View County! Our gorgeous ceilings are 13 feet high! There are 16 rooms including offices and washrooms, 10 of which are complete exhibit rooms. As well as the individual rooms, our hallways are full of displays focusing on our local area heritage.
