Leduc 1 Energy Discovery Centre

Living history: Edmonton museums worth visiting

Located just outside of Devon, Leduc Number One Energy Centre offers a detailed look at Alberta’s oil industry history. The museum is at the same site where black gold was first found in the province on February 13, 1947. Visitors can climb on a working oil rig, see the world’s largest drill bit and models of pipelines, or learn about alternative energy in the museum’s learning lab. There are artifacts, interpretive displays, archives, photos and more at this not-for-profit centre, operated by the Leduc/Devon Oilfield Historical Society.
