Red Brick Arts Centre and Museum

If you enjoy discovering the stories behind a place, the Red Brick Arts Centre is an easy stop to add to your trip in Edson. Set inside the restored former Edson School Building from 1913, this local landmark blends history, creativity and community in a way that feels personal and welcoming. You can wander through the school-room museum and principal’s office, browse the art gallery or catch a performance in the Hatlen Theatre, which has 141 seats and regularly hosts music, exhibits and community events. There is also a gift shop with local history books and other finds that make the visit feel a little more rooted in Edson. The building itself is worth seeing, with its preserved character and lived-in sense of place. It is free to visit and tour, which makes it a nice choice when you want something low-key but memorable. If your trip lines up with an exhibit or live show, even better.
