Acadia Valley
A hamlet in southeast Alberta within the Municipal
District (M.D.) of Acadia No. 34. The hamlet is located
along Highway 41 commonly referred to as Buffalo Trail
between Oyen and Medicine Hat and sits about 14.5 km
(9.0 mi) west of the Alberta-Saskatchewan border. It hosts
attractions such as trout fishing in the Acadia Municipal
Recreation Dam four miles west of town on Hwy. 41, the

Wheat Pool grain elevator with a community gift shop
and tea house, and a CNR caboose. The campground has

northeast of Calgary. Acme has a local campground,
curling and racquet ball club, a swimming pool, golf
course, a variety of parks and playgrounds, gas station

name Acme is derived from the village’s railway heritage.
When the Canadian Pacific Railway reached the
area in 1909, the village’s station became the most
northerly stop on the company’s network. The moniker
‘Acme’ is of Greek origin, meaning ‘the highest point’
thus was applied to the community by CPR surveyors
of the day.
The Kuhnen Natural Area officially opened to the public on Tuesday, June 18, 2019. The large parcel of land in Lacombe County
overlooks a sea of trees and the Red Deer River.

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

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

to a German Hussar (cavalry) regiment who earlier had
established a large farm near Hussar. With the start of
World War I, most of the soldiers returned to Germany
and those who remained were interned for the duration
of the war. The land, which was part of this German
Canadian Farming Co. Ltd., was purchased after the
war. Following the war, the community, both the village

influx of settlers from around the world. Hussar is a village

Strome - Swalwell Page 55
Strome
Located on Hwy 13, 58 km (36 mi) east of the City of
Camrose, the hamlet was originally incorporated as a
village on Feb. 3, 1910. It dissolved to become a hamlet
in Flagstaff County on Jan. 1, 2016. Strome’s name is
believed to come from Stromeferry in Ross & Cromarty,
Scotland. Strome Sodbusters Archives Museum – memories
and roots are the reason the museum was
established. Step back into yesteryear with us as we
walk through our community’s history showing the
love, faith, courage and the challenge that our gallant
pioneers left us. Strome began developing as a farming
community in 1905. Max Knoll opened the first post
office, under the name of Knollton, and set up the first
general store. The name of the post office was changed
to Strome on July 1, 1906. A hotel, a hardware store,
and a church followed. Strome incorporated as a village
on Feb. 3, 1910. Strome campground is located on the
northwest edge of town, 25 non-serviced treed sites, fire
pits, next to ball diamonds, school playground, hall and
gazebo.

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

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