Museum Of The Highwood

It was a lovely experience visiting the museum. The staff was great. They welcomed me when I enters the building and made sure to thank me and say goodbye as I left. They were great at knowing all about heartland and showing on a map other cool interesting filming sites within the town. They had some great recommendations for places to get coffee and food within the town. There was a heartland quiz that was challenging as there were questions from earlier season I couldn’t remember. I am really glad I took the 45 minute drive from Calgary to see this museum.

Your HEARTLAND pilgrimage should begin here! This amazing museum is located in the historic railway station in High River AB. The museum is staffed by a dedicated team of knowledgeable local talent that is willing and able to assist you in getting the most out of your trip to Hudson.

The museum is accessed through a donation. Upon entering there are plenty of very interesting displays that inform the visitor of all the past and recent history of the High River (Real) and Hudson (Fictitious) locales.

Parking is ample and accessible. Washroom facilities are available for patrons.

This little museum is amazing thanks to the staff. The lady knows a lot and explained so much about the building, village. Once the building was a railway station.

The guy who helped us was SO helpful, went above and beyond. Walked us through all the ways we could see some of the things we were interested in. And answered every question with utmost patience. He even told us good restaurants to go to and then looked them up for us to make sure there was the dietary options we needed. Would go again.

Interesting collection of items. A bit of history, archeology, locals personalities...Pleasant and eclectic!

Heartland display was interesting…
The little gift stop has book and stickers

Nice small town museum

The staff at the Museum of the Highwood went above and beyond to make our High River visit exceptional!
Maps, suggestions and updated information (and more...) all contributed to making my niece's Heartland tour extra special.
The displays are incredible, and thoughtfully curated.
If you're wanting to add a special touch to your trip, I'd highly recommend stopping in. If you can, remember to bring cash for the "by donation" offering in exchange for your visit.
