The Rocky Museum showcases the history of the pioneers who homesteaded in this area, worked in the lumber camps and sawmills, and sent their children to one-room schoolhouses. The Rocky Museum exhibits household effects of the farming families who cooked on wood stoves, rode to town in horse-drawn wagons, and hunted, fished and trapped for their food.

This was a neat place to visit. Took a guided tour here with the kids, started riding the the coal mine carts, and walked right through the old buildings and fixtures and got a real grasp of what this place was like as a real operating coal mine. Loved the fact that the guides gave the kids a photo "scavenger hunt" to go on while we were on the tour to keep them entertained.Read more

The Westlock Pioneer Museum contains thousands of objects, many of them donated by the descendants of early settlers in the Westlock area, including such smaller surrounding communities as Clyde, Dapp, Linaria, Busby, Pickardville, Pibroch, Jarvie and Flatbush. The museum is run by the Westlock and District Historical Society, which was created in 1962 with the mission of preserving the history of the area and passing it on to future generations. The historical society began collecting artifacts that told the story of the town and the people who helped to develop it. Now the museum contains everything from early pioneer farm equipment and vehicles to wedding dresses and kitchen utensils, all evocative of the lives of the pioneers who built a community in the area. Come visit the museum to learn about our distinct and unique history.
