Larry Strawson

Intersting place

James Cherry

Quite a small location housing a lot of history, very interesting learning about the history of the Jasper National Park and recommend if visiting the town.

Harry ZHANG

We went there later afternoon, one hour before it closes. It is a small museum, but a great place to the history of Canada, and Jasper

Matt Van Alstyne

Not a great place for kids. My 9 and 7 year old were excited about taking in a museum to learn more about the town of Jasper. The place looks closed from the outside but once you enter you realize it’s a small place and expectations lower. We were still pumped though and looking to learn some facts. The lady behind the till seemed annoyed that we had walked in. I had a brochure in my hand that the tourist information booth gave us to get 20% off and she rang up the old cash register at full price. I said “doesn’t this brochure get us 20% off admission” and she replied “well, I wish you would have showed me that first, now I’m going to have to re-do everything”. After that she told me I would have to pay debit because everyone gets their cut - sounds like a Jasper Mafia may be at large. Meanwhile, my daughter is touching little trinkets that are clearly for sale on the counter and the lady scolds her. “Not everything is for touching” she said. I almost asked for a refund and got out of there but didn’t want her head to explode so we just went in. Lots of good information but even if you took your time you might be there 30 mins. We were out in 5. Maybe this lady was a volunteer? Maybe she had a bad day? Maybe she hates children and discounts? My advice...lighten up and have fun. We’re on vacation for Pete’s sake!

Not open

Jonathon Lintott

A small museum run by local volunteers with a quick look into Jasper's history. Has a regular rotation in its exhibition space too, to keep it interesting.

Les Curtis

Mu Lavin

So interesting a real hidden gem

Jean Chow

Informative display on the history and development of Jasper. Addressed people whi had contributed to the railroads and towns. Good collection of literature for sale. (I bought 7 books and an audio history CD ) Very worthwhile.

Awesome...

(Translated) It is a historical museum in Jasper. There is an admission fee of $ 7 for adults and $ 6 for students. Payment methods are cash or debit cards only, credit cards are not accepted. It is a very small museum, and exhibits and composition are very poor. The atmosphere is free, but the admission fee feels a little wasteful. There is a souvenir shop on the left side of the entrance, which is large compared to the size of the museum and varied in composition. The toilet is in the basement. (Original) 재스퍼에 있는 역사 뮤지엄입니다. 성인은 $7, 학생은 $6의 입장료가 있습니다. 결재 방법은 현금 또는 데빗카드만 가능하고, 신용카드는 받지 않습니다. 굉장히 작은 규모의 뮤지엄으로 전시품이나 구성이 매우 열악합니다. 분위기는 무료 같은데, 관람료가 조금 아깝게 느껴집니다. 입구 왼편에 기념품 매장이 있는데, 뮤지엄 규모에 비해 크고, 구성도 다양합니다. 화장실은 지하에 있습니다.

Good

Interesting place to learn about the beginnings of Jasper, how the trade and railway companies shaped the region. I loved the video showing the history of the different settlers.

Definitely worth a visit with plenty of history from the area to see and lots of infomation about glaciers too.

Devin Martin

Spent part of the evening there due to the heat wave a few weeks back. Lots of information of the history of Jasper and the lady that was working there at the time was so nice and friendly! She had so much passion and you could tell she loved working at the museum!

Closed. How unfortunate.

peplzwachr

Great local museum for a really decent price for all of the local history. 7 dollars per person, they have actually quite a lot for artifacts to show and tell about. We spent about 40 minutes and I wanted to stay more because of how saturated in history they are. I love it. Anyways if you're a history buff or like museums this one is a nice quick stop.

Judith Cable

Amazing local history

Tonny Sticks

This place is rich with Canadian history. And the video at the end is nice. If you are still looking and reading other things the audio from the video can be distracting. Perphaps headset could be connected to the video player so that the person watching can be the only one who hears the audio.

Mary Lange

I usually visit the museum wherever I end up and am never disappointed. This was no exception. Great photos, lots of interesting artifacts and I even learned about the attempt to make a submarine out of glacier ice... Who knew? Proprietors very friendly and gave lots of advice on places to go while in Jasper.

Jenn Rain

This museum packs a lot of punch in a small footprint. Entrance fee is by donation. The history exhibit includes a kid's cave (with stuffies), a small model train display, and several original artifacts related to the area (eg. The two shovels from Shovel Pass on the Skyline Trail). The artifacts are very well maintained. If your group includes kids, Rob will offer them a chance to participate in a mini Scavenger Hunt. To the left of the history loop is a rotating exhibit room (currently hosting contemporary art), and to the right is the local book sale room. The gift shop has REAL LOCAL ART made by people in the area. They sell original wood carvings, blankets made by the local quilting guild, jewelry, and photography. You may also buy replicas of the original Jasper Park Pass. The gift shop carries an extensive selection of books focused on history, hiking in the area and Indigenous literature. The shop accepts cash and debit, but would prefer not to use credit due to high processing fees. Outside the museum is a small garden exhibit showcasing different geological formations from the area's history. In total, our group of four adults spent about half an hour wandering around. Your group might only take five minutes, depending on your cumulative level of interest.

Marg Ashby

Really interesting place, my first time visiting the museum although I havevbeen to Jasper many times

Dolorise Laliberte

Interesting

Anatolie Timercan

Good little museum, fairly interesting, however there's not all that much to see so you can finish it in about 30mins.

Miranda Batten

It's a smaller musuem. Admission for an adult is $7. It's got some nice content all about the history of Jasper and area. Would have rated it higher but the woman working the desk is fairly rude.

David Murray

Interesting museum full of great information. The owners are really nice and they let us stay after the closing time. Would recommend!

Danny Mack

Really interesting and the staff was extremely informative.

Gage Cadotte

Small town, lots of history, and this is where it all begins. My favourite stop on my visit to Jasper; i might even make it a personal tradition to visit every time I come to town.

Mee Jeong Ka

They don’t welcome when you use discounted coupon at the front. Plus, if you use a discount coupon, they prefer cash or debit. Also, this museum is very texty. They don’t have that much stuff, just many explanation. But if you do free walking tour which offers at visitor center at 730 pm every day, you really don’t have to come this museum.

Kelly Kitzmann

Interesting displays. Lots of great local history.

Jaco Liebenberg

Small place but loads of information and history. Lots of interesting displays

Rain or shine, well worth the cost. Great display and the current feature about bears is fascinating

(Translated) The exhibition could have been a little bigger. But the exhibits in good condition and interesting. The movie is pretty informative.

(Translated) Small but nice museum about the history of the settlers in Jasper and the surrounding area. In an hour you can get an overview of the development of the area and the management until today. (Original) Kleines aber feines Museum zur Geschichte der Siedler in Jasper und der Umgebung. In einer Stunde kann man sich einen Überblick über die Entstehung des Gebietes und die Bewirtschaftung bis heute verschaffen.
