Events Description
One unique artifact in the historical collections of our sandstone mansion is a family photo album. This album gives us a glimpse into the personal life of the Lougheed family, including time spent in Banff with family and friends. It also features many pets!
Some photos will be on display for the first time ever: we’re introducing Chips, a beloved family dog, David the regal cat, and Spats the horse by displaying their photos to the public. This exhibit of Lougheed family animal companion photos will be displayed outdoors as part of Exposure Photography Festival in the public green space, and viewable during any daylight hours. Pets are also welcome in this green space, continuing this long tradition of animal companions at Lougheed House.
Lougheed House was built in 1891 by Senator James A. Lougheed and his wife, Lady Isabella Hardisty Lougheed. Over its long life, the House evolved to meet the needs of a changing city and world. After a decade-long, citizen-led restoration, the House opened to the public as a museum in 2005.
Today, the House and Gardens are an immersive historic site and vibrant community hub.
History comes to life through permanent and temporary exhibits, themed house tours, compelling speaker series, and hands-on, inquiry-based school group programs.
The House builds community through free and low-cost community programs like trivia nights, craft workshops, artisan markets, and Santa Comes to Lougheed House.
A proud backyard to our Beltline community, the gorgeous Beaulieu Gardens welcome 100,000 people (and numerous neighbourhood pups) every year.
