Lonely Planet review for Buffalo Nations Luxton Museum

The Buffalo Nations Luxton Museum is in the fort-like wooden building. Popular with kids, it mainly explores the history of the First Nations of the Northern Plains and the Rockies, but also covers indigenous groups from all over Alberta. Through life-sized displays, models and re-creations, it depicts traditions such as buffalo hunts. The museum was started by Norman Luxton in 1952; he had lofty inclinations after years running a souvenir shop on the site.
