About The Historical Society

The Historical Society of Medicine Hat and District was formed on December 5, 1947, when a group of local citizens met in the home of Mayor Hector Lang to preserve our region’s early history. From collecting stories and artifacts to building the first pioneer cabin museum in 1951, we’ve grown into a vital community resource.
