A town doesn’t need bustling streets to have charm.
Located northwest of Drumheller, Rowley has been extremely well-preserved by volunteers and the province.
Here, several historical buildings including a church, funeral home, bank and a saloon are frozen in time and are still visited by locals and tourists alike.
While the Alberta gem is often referred to as a ‘ghost town’ due to its population of 12, Rowley has a whole lot of life and is proof that as long as you take care of something, it’ll last.
