Welcome to Doors Open Alberta

Doors Open Alberta is a major heritage tourism initiative that celebrates the people, places and architecture of our province.  It is part of an international, national and provincial program that showcases built heritage and the people of our communities. 

Between April and October, communities host one or two day  Doors Open Alberta events that offer free tours of architecturally interesting buildings and places. In 2004 six Alberta communities showcased 135 buildings and sites to over 6,200 visitors.  Alberta's centennial in 2005 presents an opportunity for communities to feature built heritage as part of their centennial celebrations. 

Doors Open Alberta is brought to you by the Alberta Historical Resources Foundation, Doors Open Alberta Steering Committee, the Heritage Community Foundation and Travel Alberta.
