The Roulston Museum is governed by the Carstairs & District Historical Society. It opened in the Knox Presbyterian Church in 1988, and is designated as an historic site. The collection at the museum includes artifacts and pictures relating to aspects of local life from early settlement to the present. There are records and artifacts from the church and displays from the Glenbow Museum's Rural Loans Program. The museum features the McCaig House from 1901, which is a restored, furnished house. Lots of activities are held throughout the year, including Family Day activities, School Programs, Canada Day Festivities, and Mountain View Music Fest with an indoor stage, and our Pioneer Supper.
