Rural Heritage Reporting

Be a Citizen Researcher with the Lacombe Museum!

The Lacombe Museum is calling on community members throughout Lacombe County to submit heritage information via our Rural Heritage Self-Reporting program. The history of our county is just as important as that of the villages, towns, and cities within it but is often underrepresented when compared to urban sites. To help amend this we are calling on the rural property owners, past and present, of Lacombe County to self-report the heritage found on their properties in order to help the Lacombe Museum create a more complete historical record for the place that we call home.

We are looking for any and all information that might be of historic value whether you have an oral history to report, remnants of a homestead on your property, live in a heritage home, or have an Indigenous site in a pasture. The aim of this program is to record information before it is lost. Information that is shared via this program will only be made publicly available if the person submitting the information chooses to make it so, otherwise the information will be kept as research files by the Lacombe Museum.

Any information submitted that is available to the public will be displayed on a map on this page.
