Nestled in the heart of Ashcroft, the Ashcroft Museum is housed in the historic Dominion building, built in 1917. Once home to the Village Post Office, this charming museum has welcomed visitors since 1980. Located at the corner of Brink and 4th Street, it stands as a treasure trove of stories from Ashcroft’s “Glory Days.”
Explore captivating exhibits that bring the past to life! Our collection showcases artifacts from the early 1900s, honoring Ashcroft’s Indigenous Peoples, the Chinese community, and pioneering settlers. On the top floor, discover exhibits on ranching, sports, fossils, and one of the museum’s most popular attractions—the fascinating coal mine display.
New for visitors this year is our exciting “Movies filmed in Ashcroft and Area” exhibit, highlighting the films and TV productions that have chosen our unique landscape as their backdrop!
There’s always something new to see! The museum features rotating exhibits that change annually, ensuring fresh experiences for returning visitors. History buffs will also appreciate our extensive archives, where staff are eager to help with inquiries about local history and pioneer families.
