Three Grain Elevators of Rowley

Rowley, Alberta "Ghost Town"

The Grain Elevators play a big part of life Rowley... today there is the original train station there and a guided tour can be had. The railway track are still there but come to an end at the edge of Rowley... The Livery stable can be seen behind them.

The weathered old grain elevators that stand in Rowley are the monuments of the town's heritage and identity. When they were built following the railroad's construction through town in 1911, homesteaders staked their purpose in the new undeveloped territory of Central Alberta.

Great image, Rick. It is nice that the elevators have been painted. This is one great community preserving the past. V.
