In its short history, the Canadian Badlands has seen numerous booms and busts, the stories of which are well told in museums and at national historic sites. This rich history has been both preserved and brought to life in various ways – steam train rides through farmland, ghost tours of abandoned coal mines, or the forging of clay pots in old beehive kilns.
You can taste early prairie life by ducking into a sod house, touring a prairie grain elevator museum or roaming the broad streets of a unique Mormon agricultural village. To step way back into early human history, visit a First Nations’ buffalo jump or historic park.
