Description
This exhibition is a tribute to the spirit, vision, commitment and creative energy of one of the early pioneer families in Banff and the Bow Valley.

Through their strength of character and extraordinary lives, the Luxton and McDougall families helped bring the small mountain community of Banff and the Bow Valley to the world. At the same time, they brought the world to Banff.

With a keen sense that he was creating history, Norman Luxton, adventurer, entrepreneur and Banff booster, amassed his family's history. His daughter, Eleanor, historian, scholar and educator, became the chronicler and preserver of the family's history, as well as the human and natural heritage of this region.

This is their story. It is truly the stuff of legend.

Medium: Museum Exhibit
