Heritage Acres Farm Museum, Open-air agricultural museum in Pincher Creek, Canada.
Heritage Acres Farm Museum is an open-air museum in Pincher Creek dedicated to agricultural history. The grounds display antique farm machinery, historical buildings brought from other locations, and farming artifacts from the early 1900s.
The museum was founded in 1988 by the Oldman River Antique Equipment and Threshing Club, a group passionate about preserving farming machinery. It has grown to become one of Alberta's largest independent agricultural history facilities.
The site displays buildings like the Ashvale School and an authentic Doukhobor barn, showing how early Canadian farming communities were organized and educated. Walking through these structures gives you a sense of what daily life looked like for settlers in this region.
The museum sits on large outdoor grounds and is best explored on foot, as the space spreads across multiple areas. Visit on dry days for the most comfortable experience, as the terrain can become muddy after rain.
The museum features Crystal Village, a miniature settlement that shows what small frontier communities looked like in detail. This installation offers an unexpected perspective on how early settlers organized their spaces.
