Highlands is a living museum of Edmonton’s architectural history. There is architecture, grand and modest from every decade from the 1910s through the 2020s. As we stroll through the neighbourhood, we will connect our architecture to Edmonton’s history, and we’ll meet some of the interesting characters who have lived here since the 1870s. Our booklet Edmonton Highlands Historical Walking Tour is included with the tour.
