Through July and August - Wednesday through Sunday, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

There is no admission fee though donations are gratefully accepted. Special tours can be arranged by request any time of the year. A windmill from long ago marks the spot where the Bentley Museum Society displays its artifacts in a 1924 two-storey pioneer home, named Pico House for the three-generation family who built and resided there. Each room pays tribute to different aspects of pioneer life: a hospital room, a furnished bedroom as well as historical events displays and archives.

An Agricultural Display Building behind the house features a barn replica, a country store, a telephone exchange, farm equipment and much more.

The Bentley Museum does not currently offer specific education programs, but offers historical research opportunities and information. Tours, especially for schools, scouts and guides are welcomed and encouraged. The Museum also houses the Travel Alberta Information Centre in partnership with the Bentley Village Office staff.
