Atlas Coal Mine National Historic Site

Go back to a time when COAL WAS KING!

The Atlas Coal Mine was the last of 139 mines that operated in the Drumheller Valley from 1911 to 1979. Today it is open for tours and visitors are allowed to explore the last wooden tipple in Canada, don caps and lamps and head underground, listen to the ghostly silence of a once busy washhouse, stroll around the authentic historic landscape and even catch a ride on a 1936 Mancha Mine locomotive.
