The Claresholm Museum, officially opened in 1969, is committed to preserving and exhibiting the history of this unique region of Southern Alberta. The museum is located in our historic sandstone railway station. The station was built in 1912 using sandstone blocks salvaged from Calgary's 1883 Canadian Pacific Railway depot. Our station served the community until passenger service was discontinued in 1965. After the station was closed, the building was acquired by the Town of Claresholm for a museum. The station's special history and impressive architecture has been recognized, and the building was granted Provincial Historic Resource designation in 2004.

The Visitor Information Centre is located in the Claresholm Museum.
