The Loyal Edmonton Regiment Museum

The Loyal Edmonton Regiment Military Museum is located in the Prince of Wales Armouries Heritage Centre, the building where the regiment was based from 1920 to 1965. The building is shared with the City of Edmonton Archives and the Telephone Historical Centre.

The display area of our museum consists of two galleries (Griesbach and Stone) plus seven display cabinets outside the galleries that have been placed in what used to be doorways to unit offices in the armoury. The old office space now makes up the gallery areas.

The Griesbach gallery is named after Major General William Griesbach, the first commanding officer of the 49th Battalion, CEF, which is perpetuated by the Loyal Edmonton Regiment. The gallery highlights the history of the regiment. On display are uniforms, weapons, equipment, memorabilia, and more from the First World War through to the present.

The Stone gallery is named after Colonel James Stone who was a distinguished Second World War commanding officer. It houses our temporary displays, which vary as new themes are introduced, allowing visitors to see new and different artefacts from our collection.

Our museum has a large storage facility for the artefacts, archival materials, and library materials not currently on display in our galleries.
