East Coulee School Museum

Interesting and informative. It was quiet and no other guests so we were able to tour around in peace. Lots of trinkets and small things to look at, a lot of local Alberta history in a quiet place

The only place to hold REAL dinosaur bones...So me and my nephew came to visit this place to learn some of the history of the area. My nephew is 9 and this was the highlight of our trip to the Drumheller area. He asked about how haunted the school and about the kids who went to that school back when it was running and the ladies working there answered all his questions. They were so informative and lovely! They absolutely made his day. But what's even cooler then the history of the school and seeing how people lived in olden times is the fact one of the locals donated dinosaur bones he had found years ago on his property that the school displays and even let's you hold! Unbelievable! We held real dinosaur bones. Stop by here and take the tour. It's a really amazing educational experience.

Nice well preserved museum with a little cafe inside. Informative peice of history and nice to see how the miners kids went to school but my 3 &5 kids were not overly thrilled. I would not go out just for this but if your going to the mine which is close by not bad for a quick stop over

I would highly recommend visiting East coulee school museum and having lunch at museum cafe.

Nice little cafe/tea roomThe lunch special is Turkey or ham per made sandwich, drink and dessert for $10. Could have more food section.. it’s not a tea room or there was no local tea to pick from … need more homemade meals …We did not do the school tour …. But the school was not busy with tours …More information about the tours needs to posted on social media about this hidden gem in the badlands…The gift shop could use more local small business gifts for sell …

Love the old day playground"! There's actually a newer playground just right across this Museum. Kids can experience what their parents or grandparents used to play. My daughter love the slide! Inside the Museum

Went as part of the Christmas in the coulee at Atlas Coal mine. Really enjoyed looking around at all the exhibits. I had no idea about the number of Hungarian people who worked in the mine. Very informative!

A amazing display of the history of coal mining is shown throughout this old, beautiful building. There is also a delightful tea and lunch spot inside.

This gives you a bit of ancient community structure and in school . I like how the boys and girls were separated, the classroom was tidy and makes you feel that time

We stumbled upon this little gem and are so glad we did, love these little hidden gems.
