The University of Lethbridge, together with Dr. Jim Coutts, invites you to explore the Coutts Centre for Western Canadian Heritage at a Community Open House on Saturday, Sept. 21, 2013, from 12 noon to 4 p.m.
The Coutts Centre for Western Canadian Heritage is located near Nanton, Alta.
The Coutts Centre for Western Canadian Heritage offers visitors a wonderful opportunity to experience a traditional homestead property in the foothills of southern Alberta.
Take advantage of the opportunity to visit this unique property, developed by Coutts, a southern Alberta-based art collector, political advisor and philanthropist. Coutts formally turned over his homestead property and a significant portion of his art collection to the University of Lethbridge.
Formal tours will not be offered but maps will be available on site.
