The Rocky Museum’s newly restored log home has been featured on a popular YouTube channel.
The log home, originally built in 1930 and relocated to the museum grounds nearly a century later, is the subject of a new video by Alberta-based YouTube channel M68TV, which explores the history of small towns and heritage sites across the province.
Narrated by museum manager Jean-Marie Mason, the virtual tour takes viewers through the fully restored interior of the home, highlighting the renovated kitchen, bedrooms and screened summer porch.
Mason also shares the home’s backstory, including its purchase by Mrs. Edna Brown in the 1950s, whose family still lives in the Rocky area.
The virtual tour follows on the heels of the museum’s May 31 grand opening of the log home, held during Museum Day 2025. The restoration, led by Brovan Builders Ltd. and supported by local contractors and volunteers, has been in progress since summer 2024.
Improvements include whitewashed interior walls, and the careful reinstallation of original elements like the staircase and bedroom partition walls.
The M68TV channel, known for its videos on Alberta’s rural history, has also done videos on the histories of Donalda, Beiseker, Dorothy and Cairns.
