The Didsbury Museum, situated in the Town of Didsbury, Alberta, has been established to tell the story of the founding, settlement and development of the community in and surrounding the Town of Didsbury from the late 1800’s to the present.


		This beautiful two-story brick and sandstone building was built in 1907 and the school held its first classes in 1908. In its first hundred years, the school building was a place where children gathered to learn and socialize, a temporary hospital during the influenza of 1918, a training area for men and women during World War 2 and now a museum.

The red brick school became home to the Didsbury Museum in 1989. It was designated a Historic Building in the summer of 1997.

In 2006 the Historical Society acquired the title to the public school building, called “The Old Red Brick School House”
