Big Valley:<br />
Was settled before 1910 because of the rich soil<br />
and natural grass known as prairie wool. In 1911 the<br />
Canadian Northern Railway began to lay track through<br />
Big Valley. Big Valley hosts the Prairie Steam train<br />
tours in the summer.<br />
Big Valley is the home to Skeeter Thurston, a<br />
rodeo competitor and Zeke Thurston, a rodeo World<br />
Champion.<br />
Travel back in time and let the Big Valley Historical<br />
Society show you the many historic sites. Start at the<br />
main museum, the 1930’s McAlister Motors Garage<br />
and see the vintage automobiles, trucks, tractors,<br />
other antiques and artifacts. Explore the other historic<br />
sites— the 1916 St. Edmund’s Anglican Church (the<br />
“Blue Church”), our wooden grain elevator, and our<br />
railway baggage cars which display a collection of<br />
salt and pepper shakers and model trains. The newest<br />
attraction, the Big Valley Tool Museum on Railway<br />
Avenue, houses over 10,000 antique tools, a collection<br />
of dolls and glassware and over 300 model trucks, cars<br />
and tractors. Don’t miss seeing the Canadian Northern<br />
Society’s 1912 CN Railway Station and the nearby<br />
interpretive walk to the Roundhouse. 403-740-2410;<br />

The Big Valley Golf Course is just on the western<br />
edge of the village. It’s a challenging nine hole course<br />
with lots of hills on sand greens. The view from the<br />
course and the club house is spectacular. It overlooks<br />
the village and the valley and there is still plenty of<br />
land to expand to 18 holes in the future. They are open<br />
from dawn till dusk and it costs $10 for nine holes and<br />
$15 to play all day. Power carts are not available. 403-<br />

Carbon:<br />
Evolved as ranchers moved into the area in the<br />
1890’s. It became incorporated in 1912 as a village<br />
when the Kneehill Coal Mines flourished. There were<br />
many coal seams running through the valley, thus it<br />
was suggested by L.D. Elliot, an area rancher, that the<br />
new village be named Carbon. It lies in the belt of the<br />
Canadian Badlands and is known for its geographical<br />
beauty.<br />
Farmers Exchange (museum and gift shop) located<br />
at 414 Caradoc Ave., Carbon, Ab. The local museum<br />
displays many interesting and factual accounts of the<br />
mining era, as well as the development of ranching<br />
and as time progressed the cultivation of the rich soil,<br />
brought many new settlers from U.S.A and Europe. A<br />
unique display also tells the story of the 1921 Carbon<br />
Murder Mystery: 3 murders that to this very day have<br />
never been solved. One of the oldest unsolved murders<br />
in Canadian history. Visit us and you will be very<br />
pleasantly surprised and entertained. 403-572-2331; or<br />

Tail Creek Park and campground, located on Hwy<br />
21, 6.5 km south of Nevis at Content Bridge has 70<br />
units and opens May to September 15. Coin showers,<br />

Coronation:<br />
The town grew out of the prairie on Sept. 27, 1911<br />
when the lots were sold by the CPR. Businesses moved<br />
from Haneyville, northwest of the town site to be<br />
congruent with the rail lines. Coronation was expected<br />
to be a hub town, but when cities like Calgary and Red<br />
Deer began to bloom, Coronation was soon forgotten<br />
about in that regard. Coronation was named after the<br />
coronation of King George VI. There are quite a few<br />
notable people that come from Coronation. Doug<br />
Griffiths, an author and former provincial politician<br />
and Melody Davidson, an olympic gold medalist, are a<br />
couple people that come from Coronation.<br />
Coronation Museum and Heritage Park is a “must<br />
see” for Royal Watchers and boasts an extensive<br />
collection of British royalty commemorative items,<br />
including an 1897 teapot celebrating Queen Victoria’s<br />
60th year as sovereign. Along with many artifacts<br />
donated by early settlers of the area. Includes a CP<br />
caboose, school house and park and gazebo. 403-575-<br />
1142<br />
Coronation Dam campground is located just north<br />
of the town of Coronation with 11 serviced sites, five<br />
with power and water. Washroom and shower facility<br />
on site, a trailer dumping station, large areas for group<br />
camping, a camp kitchen and a new large playground.<br />
The Dam is home to rainbow trout and northern pike<br />
and accommodates year round fishing. There is a boat<br />
launch for small fishing boats (no motors allowed).<br />
Nearby to golf course, swimming pool and downtown.<br />

Delburne - Dorothy Page 23<br />
Delburne:<br />
Began with the survey of the railway in 1910, the<br />
name Wilburne was originally chosen to be the name<br />
of the village. However, the Registrar of towns advised<br />
that there was a town by that name. Using words that<br />
rhyme with Willburne, Delburne was finally chosen.<br />
Incorporated as a village in the fall of 1912.<br />
The Anthony Henday Museum is housed in a<br />
historical CN Railway station and the Delburne CNR<br />
water tank tower building, the museum documents<br />
local history from the days of Anthony Henday in<br />
the mid-1700s through the social and economic<br />
development of the area, including the coal mining<br />
period. Exhibits include various artifacts, a replica<br />
homesteader’s cabin, a one-room school and a farming<br />
machine shed. 403-749-2711 July-Aug; off season call<br />

Fawn Meadows is a beautiful nine hole course<br />
located just 30 minutes east of Red Deer, Alberta<br />
along the historic Highway 21 and the “Boomtown<br />
Trail”. They have tree lined fairways, numerous sand<br />
traps and are considered a “must play” in central<br />
Alberta. They are among the first to open and the last<br />
to close in central Alberta, allowing lots of season to<br />
discover one of the best kept secrets in the area. Fully<br />
licensed restaurant, a practice facility, tournament<br />
tent and a 20 site campground. Call 403-749-3296;<br />

Delia:<br />
Named after Delia Davis, wife of Alvin L. Davis,<br />
a local merchant. The village was originally known<br />

The Hardisty Lakeview Golf club is on gently<br />
rolling farm and ranch land and heavily wooded areas<br />
with lush, well groomed fairways that play narrow.<br />
The uneven terrain produces unpredictable lies and<br />
golfers are advised to keep their play to the center of<br />
the fairways to avoid trouble. The greens can also be<br />
challenging thanks to deceptive slopes and undulations<br />
that make them difficult to read. 780-888-2288;<br />

Rosebud:<br />
Rosebud is a hamlet within Wheatland County.<br />
Previously an incorporated municipality, Rosebud<br />
dissolved from village status on Jan.1, 1946.<br />
The hamlet was founded in the 1885 by James<br />
Wishart. While following the Gleichen Trail to Montana<br />
with his family, they awoke to the river valley covered<br />
by wild roses, Alberta’s official flower. Wishart then<br />
reportedly said, “Here’s the promised land, we go no<br />
further.”<br />
The beauty of the valley has attracted many people<br />
throughout the years, from nature lovers to artists.<br />
Notable artists A. Y. Jackson and H. G. Glyde, members<br />
of the Group of Seven, spent a summer in 1944 painting<br />
in the area.<br />
Over the years, farming and coal mining have been<br />
the primary industries. In 1972 the Severn Creek School<br />
was shut down as part of an Alberta wide education<br />
consolidating process and local children were bused to<br />
Standard and Drumheller. This resulted in many of the<br />
local businesses being closed and the hamlet population<br />
dropped to under a dozen people. However, the farming<br />
community of around 400 still support a seed cleaning<br />
plant.<br />

a summer camp initially funded by a grant from the<br />
Alberta government and then supported as Rosebud<br />
Camp of the Arts by Crescent Heights Baptist Church<br />
in Calgary. In 1977 a high school was founded using the<br />
old buildings of the town as classrooms and emphasizing<br />
practical, visual, music and the performing arts in its<br />
curriculum. In the 1980s, Rosebud School of the Arts<br />
began to run theatre, which eventually developed into<br />
Rosebud Theatre and the school shifted its emphasis to<br />
post-secondary education. Today Rosebud Theatre runs<br />
as a fully professional company that offers programming<br />
year round.<br />
Rosebud is located on Highway 840, approximately<br />
100 kms (62 mi) northeast of Calgary and 25 kms (16<br />
mi) SW of Drumheller. It sits in a sheltered valley on the<br />

people, which translates roughly to “by the river of<br />
many roses”.<br />

as a village on Feb. 3, 1910. It dissolved to become a<br />
hamlet in Flagstaff County on Jan. 1, 2016. Strome’s<br />
name is believed to come from Stromeferry in Ross &<br />

Strome Sodbusters Archives Museum – Memories<br />
and roots are the reason our museum was established.<br />
Step back into yesteryear with us as we walk through<br />
our community’s history showing the love, faith,<br />
courage and the challenge that our gallant pioneers left<br />
us. Phone: 780-376-3688/2223.<br />
Strome began developing as a farming community<br />
in 1905. Max Knoll opened the first post office, under<br />
the name of Knollton, and set up the first general store.<br />
The name of the post office was changed to Strome on<br />
July 1, 1906. A hotel, a hardware store, and a church<br />
followed. Strome incorporated as a village on Feb. 3,<br />
1910.<br />
Strome campground is located on the northwest<br />
edge of town, 25 non-serviced treed sites, fire pits, next<br />
to ball diamonds, school playground, hall and gazebo.<br />
First come, first serve basis. No reservations. 780-376-<br />

Sunnynook:<br />
Sunnynook is a hamlet within Special Area No. 2<br />
located 10 km (6.2 mi) east of Hwy 36. The hamlet<br />

Swalwell:<br />
Swalwell is a hamlet within Kneehill County.<br />
Previously an incorporated municipality, Swalwell<br />
dissolved from village status on Jan. 1, 1946.<br />

and 5 km (3.1 mi) W of Hwy 21. It is located on<br />
Canadian National Railway’s Three Hills Subdivision<br />
between Three Hills and Beiseker.<br />
Three Hills:<br />
Three Hills was incorporated as a village in 1912,<br />
the year it was moved to its current location on the<br />
Canadian Northern Railway(CNR). With ranchers and<br />
farmers constituting its first residents, it soon became<br />
a centre for the surrounding wheat-growing area. In<br />
1922, the Prairie Bible Institute was established with L.<br />
E. Maxwell as its founding principal. This occurrence<br />
helped to increase the population of the town proper and<br />
its adjacent settlements. By the mid 1980s, the 130-<br />
acre (0.53 km2) Bible College campus and the nearby<br />
hamlets of Grantville and Ruarkville were annexed to<br />
the town.<br />
Although a relatively small community, Three Hills<br />
had the distinction of hosting the Alberta Seniors Games<br />
in the summer of 1998.<br />
Kneehill Historical Museum is the county’s past,<br />
collected in three buildings. The Station House, built<br />
in 1919, is the last surviving CN station of its pattern.<br />
Book a class reunion, grad party, or family gathering<br />
there in the former parlour. Think about what it was<br />
like gathering in a Ghost Pine community home,<br />
listening to the first radio, a hand-built wedding present,<br />
or, mentally ride with the doctors as they make their<br />
rural rounds in Model T’s mounted on the big iron<br />
skis on display in the Main Building. Find the little<br />
Fordson tractor, ‘The Widow Maker’, in the Agriculture<br />
Building. Ask the friendly staff taking you on the tour to<br />
tell you why the tractor is called that. Learn about bees<br />
and hatching chicks while you are there. Join the kids as<br />
they excitedly explore the caboose. There are hours of<br />
memories and things to learn tucked away in Kneehill<br />
Museum, Three Hills, 403-443-2092.<br />
Home to Erica Durance, an actress best known for<br />
playing Lois Lane in the TV series Smallville; Phil<br />
Callaway, an author and humorist; Bill Peters, currently<br />
coach of the NHL team, Calgary Flames.<br />
The Three Hills Campground is located on the E<br />
side of town just off Secondary Road 583. 47 sites,<br />
complete with camp concession stand, shower facilities,<br />
ball diamonds, and within walking distance to local<br />
restaurants and other amenities.<br />
The Three Hills Golf Club and campsite is set along<br />
the Three Hills Creek, and enjoys a unique setting in<br />
a small prairie ‘valley’ that makes a perfect setting for
Page 58<br />
one of the finest nine hole golf courses in central Alberta.<br />
At 3165 yards, the course makes excellent use of the<br />
meandering waterway through all of its 9 holes, and a<br />
staggered set of front and back tees make this layout a<br />
challenging, and sometimes maddening, 18 hole test of<br />
6257 yards. Some of the holes encourage a long hitter<br />
to go for the gusto, yet many tees are better played with<br />
cautious reservation because of the ever present danger of<br />
the dreaded creek. 403-443-5065; threehillsgolfclub.ca.<br />
Tolman <strong>East</strong> & West Camprounds:<br />
For hiking in Dry Island Buffalo Jump Provincial<br />
Park, birding (more than 150 bird species have been<br />

Deer River, these are the two campgrounds affiliated<br />
with the Park. There is 40 unserviced campsites, no<br />
reservations or firewood, potable water from a tap.<br />
Torrington:<br />
Torrington was incorporated as a village until 1997,<br />
when it dissolved to hamlet status under the jurisdiction<br />
of Kneehill County, at the Junction of Hwy 27 & 805.<br />
Strange but true, Torrington is the home to the<br />
infamous Gopher Hole Museum. This attraction features<br />

The present nine hole course in Trochu is fashioned<br />
around a creek, which meanders through a natural<br />
coulee with uphill and downhill lies, challenging the<br />
golfer on several fairways. Treed hillsides and brush are<br />
in evidence on five or six holes. With a creek just in<br />
front of the green, the par four second is easily the most<br />
scenic hole. The island green is protected by a lagoon<br />
