Welcome to Lacombe!

Lacombe's Main Street, located at 50th Avenue, has been carefully maintained to retain many of its features from the early 20th century. Edwardian buildings cluster around where Main and the Canadian Pacific Railway meet, instantly conjuring images of the time of Alberta's industrious traders and pioneers. The Flat Iron House angles out from a seemingly impossibly narrow front and the Blacksmith Shop Museum rings with the sounds of working forgers. Even Hollywood has discovered Lacombe, its historic facade used for the television movie the Magic of Ordinary Days and parts of the epic Brokeback Mountain.

Located in Alberta's Heartland and with a population of 8,000, the town was named after Father Albert Lacombe, a Canadian Oblate missionary who lived from 1827 to 1916. Father Lacombe is well known for mediating peace between the Cree and Blackfoot and for negotiating the construction of the CPR railway through native territory. Former governor general Roland Michener was born in the town and his birthplace, Michener House, still stands. Michener Park is a popular gathering place and major venue for Lacombe Days, celebrated in July.
