Situated on 50 acres of land, Pioneer Acres is aimed at preserving Alberta's heritage. We are conveniently located about 45 minutes north-east of Calgary and offer over a dozen buildings filled with unique exhibits and artifacts from our pioneering era.
Such a crazy summer, with COVID-19 and all. We did manage to open our gates for three months, and we are very grateful for everyone who came out to visit us - even without our annual show. We hope that 2021 will be better!
Our signature event is our Annual Show in August. For 2021 our feature is Case Tractors and Equipment. You'll need all three days to see everything! There is also information available for the Pioneer Market (the "trade fair").
"Pioneer Acres and its dedicated volunteers actively preserve, display, and demonstrate equipment and artifacts that were used by the pioneers of Western Canada."
Many days during the summer, Pioneer Acres is more than just static displays. We often have antique tractors or trucks being driven around the grounds. In addition to our annual show, we have a number of special event days. See the Feature Events page for more information.
Check out our Current Sponsors or have a look at our Sponsor Information page and see if this would be a good way for your organization to get some visibility.
Our friendly staff work to make your visit enjoyable and are always available to answer questions. If you are interested in what it was like in Alberta 100 years ago, we invite you to come out and have a look. You won't be disappointed. If you are interested in volunteering or becoming a member, we can help you with that too.
Closed for the season. See you in May 2021.
