Facility Description

To celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the arrival of Rev. Alexander and Agnes Forbes to Grande Prairie, the Forbes Residence was beautifully restored to its original form and opened to the public for their enjoyment.

It contains the original log structure built in 1911 that was used as the first hospital in Grande Prairie, plus the two storey add on used by the Forbes as their residence, built in 1912. The Forbes homestead is the oldest building still standing in Grande Prairie.
