Lloydminster, AB/SK – Explore the bygones of Lloydminster at Weaver Heritage Park as it kicks off its summer season from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, May 21, 2022.
Situated on former farmland, Weaver Heritage Park is home to the vast majority of Lloydminster’s enriched history, including:
Rendell House
Celebrated as the first timber-framed residence in Lloydminster, Rendell House was built in 1903 by Barr Colonists Alice and William Rendell.
Originally located roughly where the Rendell Centre Plaza is today, the building was moved to Weaver Heritage Park in the late 1980s. It was restored in 2016 through the generous donations of the Richard Larsen Barr Colony Foundation and represents the Rendell Homestead in the year 1910. Guests can request a guided tour with our knowledgeable staff.
Barr Colony Heritage Society Showroom
The showroom displays restoration projects by the Lloydminster Museum + Archives’ dedicated volunteer group, the Barr Colony Heritage Society. The Heritage Society maintains, repairs and restores the museum’s vintage farm equipment and vehicles so that they may be enjoyed by future generations.
Implements Shed
The implements shed contains working antique farm equipment and vehicles from the museum’s heritage collection. Many of the items on display have helped build Lloydminster’s farming industry and are preserved and maintained by dedicated volunteers with the Barr Colony Heritage Society.
Log Cabin
Rehabilitated as a semi-outdoor classroom by the Richard Larsen Barr Colony Foundation, the Log Cabin allows the Lloydminster Museum + Archives to host seasonal programming and school field trips. Visit the LMA Facebook page to find out what’s scheduled this summer.
Following the Victoria Day long weekend, Weaver Heritage Park will be open Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. until the conclusion of the August civic holiday. Admission is by donation. Guests are asked to check-in at the Reception Building.
