Significant dates in Edmonton's electrical history.

 


Edmonton Power Historical Foundation

Location: 

We are located on the grounds of the Leduc West Antique Museum. Travel 5 km west of Leduc on Highway 39. Go north on Range Road 260 (Cohne Dale Road) for about 800 metres and the museum will be on your right. If you're coming from the west, Cohne Dale Road is 5km east of Highway 60.

Hours of operation 2025

The July show is in the books and although the rain wreaked havoc on the Leduc West tractor pull, Saturday was a great success at the Edmonton Power Historical Foundation Museum, with lots of folks seeking shelter from the weather coming to visit our indoor exhibits. Sadly, the deluge forced the cancellation of the Sunday event and now only two more dates remain for the 2025 season, the Fall Harvest on September 6 & 7 and the Lesco Truck Show on September 19th and 20th. Mark your calendar and make sure you come out for a visit. We'd LOVE to see you!

On the other hand, if you are interested in a private tour, just leave a message on this website and we'll do our best to arrange a time for you to come out.
