Donalda & District Museum
The Donalda & District Museum is a mustsee! Situated in the heart of the historic Village of Donalda, northeast of Red Deer and northeast of Stettler, the museum houses 1,000 oil burning lamps dating from 1600 to 1960, the Whitford collection of Metis artifacts, and over 4,000 pioneer artifacts depicting the history of Donalda. Incorporated in 1912, Donalda was a central place in the rich farming area, serving homesteaders who came to the village for supplies and brought their produce, including milk and eggs to town to the Donalda Co-operative Creamery from 1924. Banking took place at the Imperial Bank of Canada (originally the Bank of Montreal from 1928 to 1932) and passengers and goods embarked and disembarked from the Canadian Northern Railway station (brought from Saskatchewan to replace the original Canadian Northern Station which was torn down). These heritage buildings contribute to the history and character of Donalda. A visit to Donalda is definitely worth the trip! S our display ad for phone # and website. See

TOWN OF INNISFAIL
Exploring the Innisfail Tourism Region in Central Alberta gives you a chance to Choose Your Own Adventure in one of the most attraction-rich areas of the province. More than 260 years after the first European explorers discovered this wild and breathtaking area with its spectacular view of the Rocky Mountains, adventurous souls are still coming here to experience all the culture, history and excitement the region has to offer. From close encounters with cheetahs, lions and bears at the Discovery Wildlife Park, to an afternoon of strawberry picking at The Jungle Farm, to making ice cream at the Markerville Creamery, there’s no shortage of great activities to enjoy every day in the Innisfail Tourism Region. And why stop there? Soak up the sun with a day of waterskiing, fishing or picnicking at beautiful Gleniffer Lake, drift lazily along the Red Deer River or embrace your wild side with four days of action at the Innisfail Pro Rodeo in June. We’ve packed so much excitement, adventure and enjoyment for the entire family into the region that it’s a wonder we’re not bursting at the seams! So take the short trip to the Innisfail Tourism Region today and Choose Your Own Adventure!
INNISFAIL DISTRICT HISTORICAL VILLAGE
The Innisfail & District Historical Village’s mandate is to promote the preservation, interpretation and enjoyment of local history. We do this in as fun a way as possible for our visitors. Various events throughout the year cater to young and old alike set in almost three interesting acres of land. The flower and vegetable gardens are blossoming with colour in the summer months, making this an ideal location for weddings and photos. Our tea room is a wonderful location for birthdays, anniversaries and family reunions. We also have a large covered picnic shelter. Every year there’s something new and this year we have updated our ice cream parlour, where we serve very delicious $1 cones, along with other treats. The Heritage Room has some interesting changes and there are more exciting things to coming to the Village. We are also going to do a drama program one week during the summer and we have school tours in the spring. Our first Progressive Supper in conjunction with the Jungle U-Pick and Danish Canadian National Museum was such a hit last year
Historic Markerville Creamery SEE AD ON PAGE 21
we’re doing it again this year. We’re also holding our biannual Quilt show, with beautiful quilts displayed throughout the Village.

Make the Innisfail Historical Village a stop in your Central Alberta “staycation”, bring a picnic lunch, have an ice cream cone for dessert and enjoy a step back in time.
