The Atlas Coal Mine Historical Society (no. 50412366) operates the Atlas Coal Mine National Historic Site (BN 13832 3043 RR0001), the last of the Drumheller Valley’s 139 mines. The Atlas site encompasses underground and surface workings from the Atlas No. 3 and 4 coal mines, including residential buildings. The site was active from 1936 -1984 and re-opened as a historic site in 1987. We are provincially and nationally designated as a near-complete example of the type of mines common in Western Canada in the 20th century, with an emphasis on our exceptional surface works preservation. We preserve the last wooden tipple (coal sorting structure) in Canada, the last of thousands in the country.
