Prince Albert Attractions

Diefenbaker House in Prince Albert commemorates the close links between Canadian Premier John Diefenbaker and the town, which was his constituency, telling his life story through photographs and other memorabilia.
The House was donated by the Honorable John G. Diefenbaker and opened as a Museum in 1983. Several of the pieces on display originally belonged to Sir John A. MacDonald. The majority of the furniture and artifacts are from the Diefenbaker Centre in Saskatoon, and reflect the styles of the 1960's.

The Evolution of Education Museum is housed in a one-room schoolhouse. The original structure was built in 1916 and operated here until 1963. Today school is furnished as it would have been during the first half of the 20th C with school desks, a library, an old wood stove, slate boards, the strap, gopher tails and sports equipment once used by school children in pioneer days.
