Hardieville Walking Tour
In 1917, Hardieville had a population approaching 1000, with 100 household. In the mid 1930s, when the Galt 8 mine closed, 75% of the population of the community left and Hardieville had to redefine itself from a coal mining community to an agricultural hamlet. This tour will outline the history of this community from coal mining boom town to a neighbourhood within the city of Lethbridge.
Meeting at Georgetown Park in Hardieville.
Public tour. Free. All are welcome.
