Plamondon and District Museum
“The hamlet of Plamondon is one of Alberta’s official bilingual settlements. Indigenous, French-Canadian, Russian Old Believer and other cultures have come together to create this unique corner of the region. Francophone pioneers settled in this beautiful valley in the early 1900s, learning to survive and prosper from local Metis families. Artifacts on display at Plamondon District Museum range from 20 years old to millions of years old! The museum also hosts local Indigenous artifacts and Indigenous genealogy records from 1810 to 2008, as well as pioneer family genealogies dating from 1908”
