Rossdale Power Plant had several steam engine-driven generators over the years. At least five of them were made by Belliss and Morcom.

The triple expansion 750 kW Direct Current (DC) was installed to power the street railway and used until 1951.

Hours of operation 2025

2024 is in the books, and we are looking forward to an even better 2025. The Leduc Country Lights and the Leduc Christmas Convoy were both smashing successes, and the year ended with the last day of the lights on December 31. The EPHF Museum will open again for the Leduc West Spring Swap Meet in May 2025. If, however, you are interested in a private tour, just leave a message on this website and we'll do our best to arrange a time for you to come out.
Tentative exhibition dates in 2025 are the Spring Swap Meet on May 24 & 25, the Annual Exposition on July 19 & 20, and the Fall Harvest on September 6 & 7. Plus the Lesco Truck Show in September and hopefully the Embers & Ice Pitmaster Challenge in May. Watch this space!
