The Galt Museum & Archives is renowned for its educational and community programming. Our classes introduce students from preschool to Grade 8 to the history of Lethbridge and southern Alberta. Using real and replica artifacts and documents, we help students to explore the history and culture of our region. Over the past decade, our Museum Educators have brought over a hundred thousand students through the Galt Museum & Archives.

Heritage Fair
The Galt is hosting the Southern Alberta Regional Heritage Fair for students up to grade nine. The fair program encourages students to explore Canadian heritage in a dynamic, hands-on learning environment. Preparing and presenting a heritage fair project helps students develop critical thinking, historical thinking, writing, research, performance, and public speaking skills. These projects are initially shown in the schools and the best are chosen to present at the Southern Alberta Regional Heritage Fair.
