The Crowsnest Pass has the most interesting and fascinating stories to tell of any region in Canada – not only from its uniqueness, but also from its diversity.  From some of Canada’s most catastrophic disasters such as the Frank Slide and the Hillcrest Mine Disaster, to the building of the unprecedented Crowsnest Railroad, to the Sentinel Train Robbery and illegal liquor trade (the famous Canadian Opera “Filumena”-our own Crowsnest Pass History/Story), but most of all, from its rich and remarkable history created by the people that came to the Crowsnest Pass from every corner of the world.

Come and join us for our annual Rum Runner Days & Thunder in the Valley as we celebrate the deep rooted history, culture and heritage of the Crowsnest Pass and its people.  For more info, click here.

The Crowsnest Historical Society was formed in 1973 by a group of concerned citizens who recognized the need to preserve the unique cultural history of the Crowsnest Pass which was quickly disappearing.

It was decided that a book telling the history of the Crowsnest Pass would be written. The book itself would be a fundraiser and could generate money for a future museum while preserving and telling the story. In 1976 the book "Crowsnest and its people" was published. It became a best seller and award winner.

In 1981 the historical society acquired the Coleman High School. Renovations started in earnest on the two story building with the help of many dedicated volunteers and generous federal grants.

In 1985 the Crowsnest Museum opened it's doors to the public. For more info, click here.

Waterton Lakes National Park of Canada

Rugged, windswept mountains rise abruptly out of gentle prairie grassland in spectacular Waterton Lakes National Park. Here, several different ecological regions meet and interact in a landscape shaped by wind, fire, flooding, and abundant plants and wildlife. The park helps protect the unique and unusually diverse physical, biological and cultural resources found in the Crown of the Continent: one of the narrowest places in the Rocky Mountains. The highlight of Waterton's sparkling chain of lakes is the international Upper Waterton Lake, the deepest lake in the Canadian Rockies. In 1932, the park was joined with Montana's Glacier National Park to form the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park - a world first. For more info, click here.
