While many of the outdoor buildings are closed to the public, the following displays are open for viewing:
|
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 located today, the building was moved to the museum 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.
