Crowsnest - Frank Slide Interpretive Centre

The Frank Slide Interpretive Centre features displays of the 1903 Frank Slide (rockslide-avalanche), as well as the Canadian Pacific Railway, European settlement, early underground coal mining and community life, and the history of the Crowsnest Pass area in general.

The Frank slide occurred in the early morning hours of April 29, 1903. An estimated 82 million tonnes of rock tumbled down of Turtle Mountain burying some of the town of Frank killing around 70 people. The causes and aftermath of this huge event are discussed here at the Frank Slide Interpretive Centre, with the effects of the slide still visible in the landscape.
