Edmonton - Rutherford House Provincial Historic Site
|
|
At 11153 Saskatchewan Drive stands historical Rutherford House. Built in 1911, it was for a long time the residence of A.C. Rutherford, Alberta's first premier. The building has now been refurnished in the 1915 style and gives a good idea of the urban lifestyle enjoyed by the Alberta elite at that time.
Costumed interpreters busy themselves in the house, and the program of events is extremely varied.
