The Plamondon Museum, formally the Plamondon and District Museum, collects and displays artifacts from the district’s history, in a hamlet founded in 1908 by Joseph Plamondon and settled largely by French-American and French Canadian pioneers. Exhibits cover Metis culture, trapping, music, church, and pioneer history, and the museum holds extensive genealogy records including Metis genealogy. It welcomes visitors through the summer season, with private tours and off-season visits arranged on request.
MCSnet sponsors the internet connection at the museum, so volunteers and visiting researchers can get online without hunting for cell signal in the hamlet. The museum carries the Alberta Museums Association Recognized Museum designation, and entry is by donation. It sits near the Plamondon Curling Club, the other MCSnet sponsored hotspot in Plamondon, both reachable with the same network name and password.
