The Ohrn house was built in the Thorsby area in 1917. Don and Ralph Ohrn, who grew up in the house, donated it to LWAS in 1993. After it was moved to the Alberta Heritage Exposition Park, volunteers spent the next two years restoring it and then furnishing it with authentic period pieces, artifacts and antiques.
