Oyen Crossroads Museum is open for the season

By Dylan Berg

Hello everybody! The Oyen Crossroads Museum is back in business for the 2022 summer season. We are excited to once again share the wonderful history of our town and the surrounding area with both locals and visitors alike. Come and see the old-school Benton Hall, the Hoenig House, our 1950s Greek-Ukrainian Orthodox Church, and many other fascinating exhibits.

We are open from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday. If you are interested in a tour feel free to drop in, we are located at 312-1st ave east. Also, if you have any pieces of history that you would like to share with us we are accepting artifact donations.

Your museum attendant for the summer will be Dylan Berg, a student at the University of Lethbridge majoring in history and political science, back in town to guide you through Oyen’s history. We look forward to seeing everyone and hope that you have an exciting summer!

If you have any questions we can be reached at 403-664-2330 and oyenmuseum@gmail.com, and don’t forget to check us out on Facebook and Instagram.
