Kootenai Brown Pioneer Village is a 6-acre, 30-building, outdoor heritage facility in Pincher Creek, Alberta, where history is accessible and comes alive. Students interact with well-furnished buildings–and learn to respect and appreciate artifacts and heritage preservation.

KBPV invites students to immerse in the life of a pioneer school child, a fur trader, an archaeologist, a Mountie, or any role the imagination can suggest.

Hosted by a published historian, the education program engages students in active inquiry, and encourages critical and creative thinking. Students step back in time and gain a sense of belonging in their community.
The program supports the learning of historic touchstones: the Fur Trade, early Canada and Alberta, First Nations, immigration and settlement, agriculture, policing and military, transportation and communication technology, fashion, civics - and much more.

We balance the education with hands-on activities, crafts, and games that are fun and interactive.
Program flexibility works to assist you in tailoring a detailed schedule specific to lesson needs based on time, distance or other challenges.
