The Atlas Coal Mine is a place where you can step back in time and discover the fascinating story of coal mining in Alberta.
It was once the largest and most productive mine in the Drumheller Valley, producing over 12 million tons of coal from 1936 to 1979.
The mine was also known for its harsh working conditions, labor disputes, and accidents that claimed many lives.
Today, the Atlas Coal Mine is a National Historic Site that preserves the legacy of the miners and their families. You can explore the site’s buildings, structures, and landscape elements that reflect the different phases of coal mining and processing.
You can also take a guided tour of the mine’s underground tunnels, surface plant, or tipple - the towering wooden structure that sorted and loaded the coal.
The Atlas Coal Mine is more than just a museum; it is a living history of Alberta’s coal heritage.
