A visit to this 1898-built home, available for educational purpose and viewing pleasure at the Camrose Museum since 1979, is like stepping back in time. The popular and well-appointed museum is a must-see in the summer season, celebrating 50 years of operation. The home was built by Thore Grue and housed his wife and five children for five years. Knut Lyseng struck a deal on the home and surrounding land in 1903; however, the dwelling sat empty until 1910. It was in this year that Carl Lyseng (son of Knut) purchased the homestead for his farming needs. The well-built home featured one room downstairs and one room upstairs for Carl and his wife Ragna. The family made this their home until 1969! The upstairs was divided into bedrooms by curtains. A sunporch was added in 1935 and electricity was finally added in 1950. The move to the grounds of the Camrose Museum, nearly four decades ago, was not the home’s first move. The home was originally built too close to the road allowance and Kurt Lyseng moved it using two bobsleds, each powered by a team of six strong horses. Today, this home stands preserved in time for all to see and admire. It reflects a simple, yet challenging, way of life.
