Redwater Museum interprets the history of the area from the early homesteading days, to the growth of the community from hamlet to town, as Redwater experienced the oil boom of 1948.

Our collection concentrates on the early migration of people from a variety of cultures, including Eastern European and Japanese immigrants.
