Living history: Edmonton museums worth visiting
The museum, located in Kinsmen Park, is a small house that tells the story of John Walter and his family. Born in Scotland, he came to Canada in 1870 and was a Strathcona resident from 1875 until 1915. He eventually became one of Edmonton’s richest citizens but lost everything when the river valley flooded and wiped out his empire. The museum offers an interesting look at the Walterdale area, which used to have coal mines, saw mills and brick yards but is now one of the most cherished natural areas in Edmonton.
