Keillor Cabin

In 2009, Whitemud Equine Learning Centre Association received a grant from Community Facility Enhancement Program to restore Dr. Keillor's historic 1918 log cabin to community use.The cabin was hand-built by Dr. Keillor upon his return from WWI using local wood and river rock.  Over the fireplace mantle, he placed a heart-shaped stone. 

We're now booking business meetings, parties and weddings in this unique log cabin which overlooks the North Saskatchewan River and Trans Canada Trail.  Make your events memorable amidst horses, gracious trees, stone and rail fences at Edmonton's heritage farm 'where river valley trails began'.  $200./day or $125./four hours. Phone 780-435-3597.
