Michener House Museum

Michener House Museum in Lacombe offers a glimpse into Roland Michener’s early life and local history in one of the town’s oldest homes. Built in 1894 as the Village of Lacombe Methodist Church parsonage, the modest frame house later became the birthplace of Right Honourable Roland Michener, former Governor General of Canada, and the residence of his father, Edward. Inside, visitors can view items from Michener’s personal and family collections, turn-of-the-century furnishings, the original pump organ from Grace Methodist Church and the bed he was born in. The house is recognized as a Provincial Historic Site and Municipal Historic Resource, preserved by the Lacombe & District Historical Society and restored to its early appearance before opening as a museum in 1984.
