About this audio guide
This guide to the Buffalo Nations Museum in Banff looks past its fort-like log walls to how the building actually came together, room by room, across the nineteen fifties. It follows Norman Luxton, the town's longtime newspaperman and curio-shop owner, from a salvaged Banff Gun Club cabin to a museum built to house his collection of native artifacts, with help along the way from Calgary collector Eric Harvie. Look along the roofline as you listen, and see if you can spot where one year's construction ends and the next begins.
