Buffalo Nations Luxton Museum

Having opened in 1952, the Buffalo Nations Luxton Museum has dedicated more than 50 years to educating visitors about the contributions made by Native Americans in the area. Brace yourself if you're a history buff or culture hound; there are numerous displays exhibiting domestic routines, hunting tactics and daily life of the region's inhabitants.

The Buffalo Nations Luxton Museum -- tucked away on Birch Avenue just south of the Bow River -- is open seven days a week throughout the year, although hours tend to fluctuate with the seasons. Admission is about C$6.
