Morleyville Historic Church

This historic church was constructed in 1875. At that time native people were still hunting bison on the prairies. The young nation of Canada was only eight years old; the Canadian Pacific Railway still nine years in the future. And this church would become the heart of a thriving community, Morleyville, and for a time the largest settlement in what would be southern Alberta.

 

UPDATE: Sadly this oldest church in southern Alberta was totally destroyed by a fire on May 22, 2017.
