Brazeau Collieries Historic Mine Site

Brazeau Collieries Historic Mine Site in Nordegg offers summer guided tours that bring Western Canada's coal-mining history to life. A 1950s coal briquette plant and auxiliary buildings reveal how this remote industrial facility operated and the role Nordegg played in the development of Western Canada. The mine site is both a Provincial and National Historic Resource, offering a closer look at Alberta's industrial past. Tours begin at the Nordegg Heritage Centre, the two-storey yellow building on the left side of Stuart Street when entering the townsite south from Highway 11. Travellers can check the website for summer tour times before planning their visit.
