Lille Historical Tour - Crowsnest Adventures
12 pm - 4 pm
Lille was a company-built coal mining community that, between 1901 & 1912, hosted a population that grew to over 400. The community was dismantled when the mine closed in 1912, and most of its structures were moved elsewhere. Today, the site is an Alberta Provincial Historic Resource. It takes approximately 3 to 4 hours, with beautiful creek crossings, waterfalls, an old cemetery, and old remnants of life from the early 1900s.
