The Museum of the Highwood in High River was a busy place again in 2016.

Curator Irene Kerr says both the museum itself and programs were well attended.

"We had over 11,500 visitors came through our doors, that includes tourists, people that took part in programs and events and just kind of dropped by," Kerr says.

Events like the Historic Homes Tour were a big draw again for the museum.

She says they were successful despite all of the road construction that took place in front of the museum almost all of last summer.
