The Bonnyville and District Historical Society is a non-profit society, incorporated in 1980, that runs the Bonnyville and District Museum at 4401 54 Avenue. Across two acres and 13 buildings, the museum displays pioneer artifacts, machinery, and folk art, including two churches, the Durlingville Schoolhouse, the 1920s Vallee Store, a hospital exhibit, and a replica of Angus Shaw’s 1789 North West Company trading post at Moose Lake. A seven metre hand carved statue of Shaw, the fur trader credited as the first European in the area, stands at the museum entrance.
MCSnet sponsors a free Wi-Fi hotspot on the museum grounds, so visitors touring the buildings or attending an event can get online, whether that means looking up a bit of local history or just checking in while walking between exhibits. It uses the same network name and password as MCSnet’s other Bonnyville hotspots, including the Bonnyville Seniors Drop-In Centre and Shaw House.
