Trochu and District Museum

Visit the Trochu and District Museum to celebrate the history and culture of this small prairie town, founded by French cavalrymen led by Armand Trochu. Exhibits cover farming, coal mining, schools, St. Mary's Hospital and convent, the world wars, sports, and even a 2010 Vancouver Olympics podium. Add your local family cattle brand to our collection. Stop by to search your family roots using the archives which include newspapers, school registers and yearbooks, and local history books.. The museum also doubles as a Visitor Information Centre. Explore murals and historical markers around downtown Trochu and along the walking paths.
