Neat spot. Pretty out of the way but quite interesting to see how homesteaders lived. Lots of artifacts and interesting historical facts. Wouldn't go a huge way out of the way to visit but if you're in the area we enjoyed it.
Wonderful experience. The site is quaint and wonderfully restored. Oh and they just got interac payment.
So happy that this little piece of Albertan/Icelandic history has been preserved and restored so well. The tour guides, Alex and Jenna in our case, were knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. They have self-guided tour pamphlets in English, French and Icelandic if that is more your speed. Would highly recommend if you’re ever in the Markerville area!
Neat place and very authentic just a bit small. The fact that a bunch of Icelandic settlers made a go of it years ago is neat. Highly recommend combining this with a trip to Markerville
The house really is the only thing to see here (no outbuildings), but it has been beautifully maintained and the tour guide was very knowledgeable - and a great baker! Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area, or making a special trip if you have any interest in Icelandic lore.
