On February 13, 1947, the Imperial Leduc No. 1 well was brought in, forever changing Alberta's Energy story. This monumental discovery was key to the success of Alberta's petroleum industry. The well was decommissioned in 1974, and our museum opened on the historic well-site in 1997. Today, the Canadian Energy Museum strives to share and celebrate Canada's Energy story, exploring everything from coal and petroleum resources to future innovations in geothermal and biomass energy production.
