About the Reverend Forbes Homestead
The Reverend Forbes Homestead and Pioneer Hospital is Grande Prairie's oldest log home and the first hospital and a designated Provincial Historical Resource Site. Mrs. Forbes was one of the earliest pioneers in Grande Prairie. Her door was open to all for medical assistance, advice, a friendly chat and a cup of tea. The Grande Prairie Museum is pleased to carry on her tradition to the present day.
The Reverend Forbes Homestead is operated by the Grande Prairie Museum and is located behind the QEII Hospital (10424 96 Street).
