This museum was much bigger than my family expected! There were interesting topics you do not normally get to explore in a local museum, like bison and the military. We did not know there was a Prisoner of War camp in Wainwright! My daughter studying in the medical field really appreciated the antique hospital equipment.
Overall, the museum was clean, the gift shop had fun Wainwright-themed souvenirs, and the staff were friendly and helpful. We would visit again! Read more

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.
