Innovations and Inspirations Guided House Tour

Returning guided house tour explores the technological innovations and architectural wonders that made Lougheed House cutting-edge in the 1890s, and still remarkable today. Lougheed House was built in 1891 by Senator James A. Lougheed and his wife, Lady Isabella Hardisty Lougheed. Over its long life, the House evolved to meet the needs of a changing city and world. After a decade-long, citizen-led restoration, the House opened to the public as a museum in 2005.

Today, the House and Gardens are an immersive historic site and vibrant community hub. History comes to life through permanent and temporary exhibits, themed house tours, compelling speaker series, and hands-on, inquiry-based school group programs. The House builds community through free and low-cost community programs like trivia nights, craft workshops, artisan markets, and Santa Comes to Lougheed House.

A proud backyard to our Beltline community, the gorgeous Beaulieu Gardens welcome 100,000 people (and numerous neighbourhood pups) every year.
