Drumheller Attractions

 
Drumheller proudly calls itself the Town of the Dinosaurs. 75 million years ago, in the Upper Cretaceous Period, various species of dinosaurs roamed this region. Some remains of this life form have been preserved in the sedimentary strata.

From 1910 to the 1940s Drumheller depended on coal-mining. Then oil and natural gas largely took over from coal as energy sources so that today the little town is mainly a commercial center for the farmers of the region. The very dry Badlands, quite unsuitable for agriculture, have long attracted numbers of tourists.
