Acadia Valley - Acme<br />
Acadia Valley<br />
A hamlet in southeast Alberta within the Municipal<br />
District (M.D.) of Acadia No. 34. The hamlet is located<br />
along Highway 41 commonly referred to as Buffalo Trail<br />
between Oyen and Medicine Hat and sits about 14.5 km<br />
(9.0 mi) west of the Alberta-Saskatchewan border. It hosts<br />
attractions such as trout fishing in the Acadia Municipal<br />
Recreation Dam four miles west of town on Hwy. 41, the<br />
Prairie Elevator Museum, a former restored Alberta<br />
Wheat Pool grain elevator with a community gift shop<br />
and tea house, and a CNR caboose. The campground has<br />
10 fully serviced camping sites.<br />
Acme<br />
A village found along Hwy. 575 near Linden or 83 km<br />
northeast of Calgary. Acme has a local campground,<br />
curling and racquet ball club, a swimming pool, golf<br />
course, a variety of parks and playgrounds, gas station<br />
and a library among other businesses and services. The<br />
name Acme is derived from the village’s railway heritage.<br />
When the Canadian Pacific Railway reached the<br />
area in 1909, the village’s station became the most<br />
northerly stop on the company’s network. The moniker<br />
‘Acme’ is of Greek origin, meaning ‘the highest point’<br />
thus was applied to the community by CPR surveyors<br />
of the day.<br />
The Kuhnen Natural Area officially opened to the public on Tuesday, June 18, 2019. The large parcel of land in Lacombe County<br />
overlooks a sea of trees and the Red Deer River.<br />

St. Edmund’s Anglican Church (the “Blue Church”), the<br />
wooden grain elevator, and the railway baggage cars<br />
which display a collection of salt and pepper shakers<br />
and model trains. The Big Valley 9-hole Golf Course has<br />
lots of hills on sand greens.<br />
Bindloss<br />
Although not much remains of the quaint hamlet,<br />
Bindloss has a store that still operates as well as a<br />
church. For the abandoned building seekers, this is a<br />
perfect location to find some old prairie buildings<br />
standing the test of time. The hamlet was named after<br />
the English author Harold Edward Bindloss who wrote<br />
a number of notable Western novels. It is located in<br />
Special Areas No. 2 and is approximately 10 km west of<br />
Hwy 41 and 97 km north of Medicine Hat.<br />
Bodo<br />
The community is a hamlet in the MD of Provost and<br />
was named after Bodø, Norway. Approx. 20 population<br />
(2016 census). A few kilometres SW of the Hamlet and 35<br />
km south of Provost is an archeological dig site appropriately<br />
named the Bodo Archaeological Site & Centre.<br />
It is one of the largest and most well-preserved pre-contact<br />
archaeological areas in Western Canada.<br />
The site is large (approx. 200 hectares) and has a particularly<br />
rich complex of archaeological resources that<br />
exhibit evidence of multiple periods of human activity<br />
and habitation dating back as early as 5,000 years ago.<br />
The site also includes evidence for the continued use<br />
over the last 500 years of a “bison pound” where hundreds<br />
of bison were corralled and killed at one time,<br />
which provides invaluable insight to ancient hunting<br />
and butchering strategies.<br />
At Bodo, you have the unique opportunity to take<br />
part in the ongoing archaeological excavation at this<br />
important locale and to contribute to the discovery of<br />
Alberta’s exciting past.<br />

This campground is an ideal place to meet friends and<br />
family in a great setting for water-based activities and<br />
birding. (Add this in if you’d like) According to research<br />
done by the University of Alberta, the lake was named<br />
Buffalo Lake on David Thompson’s map of 1814. It was<br />
so named for its resemblance to the profile of a buffalo<br />
with the legs to the north and the head to the east.<br />

the neighbouring community of Endiang, found 10 kms<br />
east, creating the slang term ‘Endmoor’ which shows<br />
the amalgamation between community members and<br />
their events. This community can be found at the intersection<br />

Carbon Soap Box Derby, July 2019.<br />
Carbon<br />
This ‘Village in the Valley’ evolved as ranchers<br />
moved into the area in the 1890’s. It became incorporated<br />
in 1912 as a village when the Kneehill Coal Mines<br />
were flourishing. There were many coal seams running<br />
through the valley, thus it was suggested by L.D.<br />
Elliot, an area rancher, that the new village be named<br />
Carbon. It lies in the belt of the Canadian Badlands and<br />
is known for its geographical beauty including the<br />
creek that runs throughout. Carbon is just 40 kms west<br />
of Drumheller and one hour from the Calgary airport<br />
with a strong population of approximately 500 people.<br />
Farmers Exchange Museum and gift shop is located on<br />
Main Street across from the general store. The local<br />
museum displays many interesting and factual<br />
accounts of the mining era, as well as the development<br />
of ranching and rodeo and as time progressed, the cultivation<br />
of the rich soil which brought many new settlers<br />
from the US and Europe. A unique display also tells the<br />
story of the 1921 Carbon Murder Mystery: three murders<br />
that – to this very day – have never been solved,<br />
making it the oldest unsolved murder case in Canadian<br />
history. The main campground is located near<br />

Czar - Delburne<br />
Delburne<br />
Began with the survey of the railway in 1910, the<br />
name Wilburne was originally chosen to be the name of<br />
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. The<br />
Anthony Henday Museum is housed in a historical CN<br />
Railway station and the Delburne CNR water tank<br />
tower building, the museum documents local history<br />

dinosaur skull. Coal was eventually discovered in the<br />
Valley. Calgary-Drumheller railway opened in 1913. A<br />
famous coin toss happened between Samuel<br />
Drumheller and Thomas Greentree to decide who the<br />
town would be named after. Home to the World’s<br />

in this desert like area. On the back nine, course<br />
designers decided to embrace the elements - jagged<br />
hills, ancient boulders and cacti. Ravines jut out from<br />
all sides, elevation changes are frequent and fairways<br />
are an unpredictable connection of green patches. Tee<br />
boxes are mounted above cliffs, from which your ball<br />
must land on the fairway or fall mercy to a coulee.<br />

km (58 mi) east of Calgary and 55 km (34 mi) south of<br />

in honour of a group of German soldiers who belonged<br />
to a German Hussar (cavalry) regiment who earlier had<br />
established a large farm near Hussar. With the start of<br />
World War I, most of the soldiers returned to Germany<br />
and those who remained were interned for the duration<br />
of the war. The land, which was part of this German<br />
Canadian Farming Co. Ltd., was purchased after the<br />
war. Following the war, the community, both the village<br />
and the surrounding area, began to grow with an<br />
influx of settlers from around the world. Hussar is a village<br />
located within Wheatland County. It sits at the<br />

many roses”. Rosebud Centennial Museum offers a<br />

tumble cowboy past of the village of Rosebud.<br />

Strome<br />
Located on Hwy 13, 58 km (36 mi) east of the City of<br />
Camrose, the hamlet was originally incorporated as a<br />
village on Feb. 3, 1910. It dissolved to become a hamlet<br />
in Flagstaff County on Jan. 1, 2016. Strome’s name is<br />
believed to come from Stromeferry in Ross & Cromarty,<br />
Scotland. Strome Sodbusters Archives Museum – memories<br />
and roots are the reason the museum was<br />
established. Step back into yesteryear with us as we<br />
walk through our community’s history showing the<br />
love, faith, courage and the challenge that our gallant<br />
pioneers left us. Strome began developing as a farming<br />
community in 1905. Max Knoll opened the first post<br />
office, under the name of Knollton, and set up the first<br />
general store. The name of the post office was changed<br />
to Strome on July 1, 1906. A hotel, a hardware store,<br />
and a church followed. Strome incorporated as a village<br />
on Feb. 3, 1910. Strome campground is located on the<br />
northwest edge of town, 25 non-serviced treed sites, fire<br />
pits, next to ball diamonds, school playground, hall and<br />

A hamlet in Lacombe County, 40 km. east of Red Deer,<br />
population 30. Location of a famous 2-day rodeo the long<br />
weekend of August.<br />
Three Hills<br />
Was incorporated as a village in 1912, the year it was<br />
moved to its current location on the Canadian Northern<br />
Railway(CNR). With ranchers and farmers constituting<br />
its first residents, it soon became a centre for the surrounding<br />
wheat-growing area. In 1922, the Prairie Bible<br />
Institute was established with L. E. Maxwell as its<br />
founding principal. This occurrence helped to increase<br />
the population of the town proper and its adjacent settlements.<br />
By the mid 1980s, the 130-acre (0.53 km2) Bible<br />
College campus and the nearby hamlets of Grantville<br />
and Ruarkville were annexed to the town. Although a<br />
relatively small community, Three Hills had the distinction<br />
of hosting the Alberta Seniors Games in the<br />
summer of 1998. Kneehill Historical Museum is the<br />
county’s past, collected in three buildings. The Station<br />
House, built in 1919, is the last surviving CN station of<br />
its pattern. The Three Hills Campground is located on<br />
the E side of town just off Sec. Road 583 with 47 sites,<br />
concession, shower facilities, ball diamonds, and within<br />
walking distance to local restaurants and other amenities.<br />
The Three Hills Golf Club and campsite is set along<br />
Quality Plants at Affordable Prices<br />

Wainwright<br />
Area surrounding Wainwright was homesteaded in<br />
1905-06. Established by James Dawson, originally<br />
named Denwood, was later relocated by Grand Trunk<br />
Pacific Railway, and renamed after General William<br />
Wainwright. Divisional point on the Canadian National<br />
Railway main line.<br />
Wainwright has the third largest Stampede in<br />
Canada. In 1907, Canadian government created the<br />
original Buffalo National Park south of town to preserve<br />
the endangered bison. In 1939 the animals were<br />
removed and the park was turned over to the<br />
Department of National Defense. They converted the<br />
park into a training establishment of the Canadian<br />
Army, known as Camp Wainwright. In 1945-46, the<br />
camp was used as a prisoner of war facility where over<br />
1,000 German Officers were interned. Today the camp<br />
is known as Canadian Forces Base/Area support Unit<br />
Wainwright, and is one of the primary training areas in<br />
Canada. The objective of the Wainwright and District<br />
Museum is to collect, conserve, display, research and<br />
interpret the artifacts or documents related to the surrounding<br />
region. As a result, the museum has<br />
constantly strived to learn more about events that have<br />
shaped the past with the aim of transposing this information<br />
into both interesting and informative displays.<br />
Wainwright has many camping sites available:<br />
