Rutherford House Provincial Historic Site was the home of the first Premier of Alberta, Alexander Cameron Rutherford.
In 1911, A.C. Rutherford, his wife Mattie, and their family moved into this beautiful brick mansion on the university campus. The family entertained friends, relatives, and influential Edmontonians for more than a generation.
Today, this restored and furnished Edwardian-era home maintains the Rutherford tradition of hospitality and offers visitors a glimpse into the past with costumed interpreters, guided tours, and special events.
