The Banff Park Museum National Historic Site, located in downtown Banff, Alberta, is an exhibition space associated with Banff National Park.
The oldest building maintained by Parks Canada, the museum was declared a National Historic Site of Canada in 1985 and was classified as historic structure the following year.[1][2] The museum building is a pioneering example of the rustic style of architecture that was starting to catch on in North-American parks.
