Since it was built in 1891, Lougheed House and Beaulieu Gardens have served the city of Calgary as a prominent family’s home in a newly established city, as a women’s army barracks during WWII,
as a Red Cross blood donation clinic and, now, as museum
and community gathering space where everyone is welcome.   

This May, we are opening the doors on the House’s 135th summer with a house party, including a silent auction filled with fun and experience-focused items that highlight our amazing Calgary arts and culture community and the opportunity to adopt a treasured member of the Lougheed House taxidermy collection! 

We’re also launching Beaulieu Botanicals; a brand-new Burwood Distillery gin made in collaboration with the Lougheed House Conservation Society. Enjoy free tastings of the gin, try it in a cocktail at the bar, or purchase a bottle to take home with you! 

Every ticket, glass, and bid fuels community programs that foster belonging and immersive history experiences that invite visitors to explore our shared past and feel more at home here in Calgary.
