Call 403-823-2580 Email: [email protected] Map online at www.drumhellermail.com © 2011 Cenotaph Rotary Splash Park World’s Largest Dinosaur The Drumheller Valley is a unique, scenic valley, created by mil- lions of years of erosion by wind and water. About 65 million years ago, dinosaurs roamed the hot tropical swamps and forests that covered this area. Today, the fossilized remains of the dinosaurs can be seen in museums all over the world, and the lush vegetation exists as coal seams throughout the area. The valley was first inhabited by Thomas Greentree, who, in 1902, built his homestead on what is now the Town of Drumheller. The Greentree House became a stop-over place for early pioneers coming into the district. It was Sam Drumheller who first exploited rich coal reserves in the area and conceived the idea of a townsite in the valley. Jesse Gouge opened the first coal mine in 1911. In 1913, the Calgary-Drumheller railway line was opened and the coal industry boomed. More than 40 mines were soon operating in the valley. Mining towns like Nacmine (short for North American Collieries Mine), Midlandvale, Rosedale, East Coulee, Wayne, and Newcastle developed a notorious reputation as a highrolling boomtown with bootlegging and gambling. When gas and oil were discovered in other parts of Alberta, the importance of coal diminished and the economy of the valley turned to other things. Today, the Town of Drumheller relies on agriculture, government services, oil and gas, and tourism for its economic prosperity. Newcastle Park: Set on the banks of the Red Deer River, this attractive park has a beach and walking trails, baseball diamonds, a camp kitchen and picnic tables. Bicycle/Walking Trails Ride your bike or walk the scenic trail system that follows the Red Deer River. Midland Provincial Park: On the north side of the North Dinosaur Trail, self-guided walking trails lead to the former site of Midland #1 mine, closed in 1940. The former mine office and kiosks with a display of photographs provide information about the coal industry. McMullen Island: Day use area on the south side of the Trail features picnic facilities and walkways through lush vegetation -- rare in the hot, dry climate of the badlands. Nature Trail: A hiking trail along the scenic Red Deer River gives an excellent view of the unique geological formations and wildlife in the Valley. Kinsmen Park: A shady park with a fitness trail, a rock garden and a playground. HEY KIDS!!
