The
Frenchman Butte Museum welcomes you!
Each summer more than
2,000
visitors
tour the Frenchman Butte Museum site, snuggled into the center of this
picturesque hamlet which lies in the valley of the North Saskatchewan
River less than an hour's drive northeast of Lloydminster.
The
museum consists of nine buildings, most of which have been
refurbished to the way they existed years ago and arranged along its
own street in the community.
2010 marks a very important year in history.

History
With so much history in
this area, it was
necessary for a group of local folks to get together in 1979
and
found the Frenchman Butte
Museum. It was their desire to preserve and pass on the
history of
this region.
The
museum is based upon a collection of guns, arrowheads and other pioneer
artifacts gathered by the late Lloyd Furman, who spent many years
collecting artifacts. Originally, it was housed in the restored
CNR Station, but it quickly outgrew that space. As a result,
a
large quonset was erected - the Lloyd Furman Building. The site
has continued to grow with additional buildings being added as
needed.
