Edmonton Power Historical Foundation

Answering your questions

Thursday, August 22, 2013

Edmonton Power Historical Foundation was established as a non-profit society in the late 1980s to preserve Edmonton's unique and fascinating electrical history.

Our primary objective is: "To encourage and foster greater interest and awareness of the history of the generation, transmission, distribution and usage of electrical power in the City of Edmonton and the Province of Alberta."

You can become a member of our foundation! We are looking for people who are interested in and committed to Edmonton's electrical history. Anyone can join our group. Membership is $40 annually. Election of board members takes place at our Annual General Meeting.

Looking for our museum? We are located about five minutes west of Leduc on the grounds of the Leduc West Antique Museum. Take Highway 2 south to the Highway 39 exit and go west to Range Road 260. Turn right (north) and go about one mile. Look for the Leduc West Antique Society signs.

Hours of operation 2023

We are located on the grounds of the Leduc West Antique Museum. Travel 5 miles west of Leduc on Highway 39. Go north on Range Road 260 (Cohne Dale Road) for about a mile and the museum will be on your right. The museum is closed for the winter, however we are looking forward to opening our doors on May 27 for the Leduc West Antique Society Spring Swap Meet, Tractor Pull & Music Series. Featured will be all manner of vendor tables, displays, tours, and the first Tractor Pull of the season. In the evening the first concert of the Music Series will feature "Prairie Sky" on stage.
July 22 & 23 is theLWAS Annual Exposition, the biggest event of the year which will include public tours, exhibits, a parade of antique vehicles, and a Tractor Pull; on Saturday evening the Music Series will feature "The Jivin' Belles" performing songs heavily influenced by close harmony groups of the 40's like the Andrews Sisters.
September 9 & 10, the final event of the summer season is the Fall Harvest event… with public tours, exhibits and the Tractor Pull Provincial Finals event. The final music performance of the season will feature “Celtera” and as their name implies is steeped in the music from the Emerald Isle and Scotland.
