Luxton Family Home

The Luxton family has long been known for their significant contribution to the community of Banff in the 1900s. After the death of Eleanor Luxton in 1995, the house was transformed into a history museum by the Eleanor Luxton Foundation. The Luxton Family Home remains a treasured local landmark and a remarkable example of a pioneer home in Banff. Inside, the walls are adorned with paintings, beadwork and photographs while the tabletops are laden with collectibles, antiques and artifacts that offer an insight into the lives of the people of Banff in general and the Luxton family in particular from the early- to mid-20th Century. The house is open to the public for a few hours each week during summer but can be visited by appointment outside open hours as well. Although no entry fee is charged, donations are accepted to aid the foundation in the preservation of this marvelous piece of local history.
