Bonnyville & District Historical Society

From humble beginnings as the Bonnyville and District Historical Society in 1980, to the opening of the its first building in 1991, to the present-day state of the museum, with its 13 buildings and thousands of historical artifacts, the Bonnyville and District Museum has come a long way over the years and supporters hope to see it continue to grow well into the future.

There was a push throughout Alberta during the late ‘70s to document the land’s history and here in Bonnyville it was no different. With interest in the area’s history on the rise, several prominent members of the Bonnyville community, including H. E. Bourgoin and Real Girard, formed the Bonnyville and District Historical Society.
