Thank you to everyone who visited the Dr. Woods’ House Museum during summer 2026. We were pleased to welcome residents and visitors who took the opportunity to explore Leduc’s rich history and experience this unique historic landmark. The museum is now closed for public tours.

The Dr. Woods’ House Museum preserves and shares Leduc’s history through exhibits, artifacts, and stories that reflect our community’s past. While the museum is closed, City staff continue the important work of conservation—meticulously inventorying and caring for the collection’s more than 18,000 artifacts to ensure their legacies survive for future generations.

Artifact Donations

The City is not currently accepting artifact donations, as work continues to organize, catalogue, and care for the many artifacts already entrusted to the collection. This work helps ensure existing items are properly documented, preserved, and stored.

Information about future artifact donation opportunities will be posted on this page when available. Thank you for your interest in helping to preserve and share Leduc’s local history.

While continuing our preservation and conservation efforts, the City of Leduc is also exploring how to approach the future management and operations of the museum and other community heritage assets in a responsible, sustainable and collaborative way.

The Dr. Woods’ House Museum gives a charming glimpse into upper-middle-class life in the late 1920s to early 40s. One of the area’s first doctors, Dr. Robert Woods, settled west of Leduc in 1902. He built this home, with an attached medical wing, in 1927. The medical wing has been fully restored, with interior restoration and furnishings representative of the art deco period. The house itself features a Craftsman-style design, with a low-pitched roof, fieldstone chimney and extensive interior woodworking.

The building and museum collection are owned and maintained by the City of Leduc.
