Constructed in 1913, our building was originally the home of Luther Academy. The highest enrollment was 56 students. In the 1920s, the Academy moved to its new home in Regina.

 In the 1950s, Luther Academy became St. Paul's Lutheran Home, the first Lutheran "old folks home" and one of the first orphanages in Saskatchewan. 

Our building was declared a historic site in 1981. We have been operating as the Melville Heritage Museum since 1983.
