Brooks & District Museum

Public museum, Visitor Information Centre and campground

The museum is organized to be a “Walk through the ages”. There are exhibits portraying the life of a rancher, the war years, the N. W. M. P. , the Canadian Pacific Railroad and the Eastern Irrigation District.

The museum also houses displays saluting the oil industry and early settlers, including the Fourth Duke of Sutherland and John Ware.

On Canada Day, the Brooks and District Museum organizes a pancake breakfast with a teddy bear picnic and antique tractor parade. This function is very well attended by residents of Brooks and the County of Newell.

The museum also hosts tours throughout the year for schools, summer camps, nursing homes and other organizations.
