Dr. Woods House Museum is a fully restored 1927 Craftsman style bungalow. The house is furnished with lovely antiques and vintage items similar to when the Woods family lived there from 1927-1936. It is a wonderful representation of the era Dr. Woods was a pioneer doctor in Leduc. The house has an attached medical wing that has been fully preserved.
The Fort Ostell Museum Society was founded on June 25, 1967. The name comes from the original Fort Ostell that was built near Ponoka in 1885. During the Riel Rebellion, some young natives of the Cree reserves pillaged the Hudson Bay store and raided the mission. Many of the white settlers fled to Fort Edmonton. In order to secure the area, members of the 'Alberta Field Force', numbering 462 men arrived from Calgary.
