Northern Alberta Historical and Railway Museum

Step back in time at the Northern Alberta Historical and Railway Museum, a thoughtfully designed heritage attraction located along Highway 2 on the northwest side of McLennan. Open from May through August, this charming museum invites visitors to explore the region’s rich past through immersive, carefully curated spaces that reflect everyday life in the early 1900s. Constructed using 70-year-old rough lumber sourced from a local sawmill, the museum features a series of rooms representing a historic NAR station, general store, hospital, school/library, and church—each filled with authentic artifacts. Visitors can also enjoy the nearby Kimiwan Birdwalk and Interpretive Centre, making it a perfect stop for history lovers and nature enthusiasts alike.
