Sexsmith Museum

Synopsis & Main Exhibits

The Anderson Hall volunteers of the Sexsmith Museum have filled its season with new exhibits, redesigned buildings, and newly created venues that offer the historical relevance and prestige of not only Sexsmith, AB, but also the Peace Country. The Alberta Wheat Pool Elevator is nearing the final phase of preservation. This six-year major project will transport you back in time to the handling of grain in the 20th century. Tours of the grain elevator, with retired elevator agents, are available on request during the museum season. You can also explore on 99th Street, the Anderson Hall Museum, with a 60’ x 60’ addition, the Greek Orthodox Church, the Paszkowski House, the Blacksmith Shop, and the old Fire Hall, which have all been re-designed and are rare gems within Alberta’s Museum world. Also, featured on 100 Street is the historical Railway Station, a 1953 GP7 Diesel Number 1 Train Engine, and a Caboose. Behind the blacksmith shop sits a historical Barn which includes a Hired Hand bunkhouse.

A new exhibit, entitled “Axe to Grind,” has been opened featuring every type of instrument used to build the frontier and tools to keep the old machines working. Finally, the Emanuel Anglican Church has been moved to 99 Street and will be open to the public.
