Hey TBT,

Did you know the Muskeg Creek Estates townhouses were originally constructed for Athabasca University staff housing? One of the major concerns around the University’s move to Athabasca in the 1980s was housing availability. As a solution, the University supported the construction of the log townhouses in 1985. Completed around 1987, these townhouses have housed many local Athabascans over the years and still stand today.

How farming equipment has changed TBTers!

This photo from the Helen S. Petersen Bentley fonds showcases a Holt crawler tractor hauling several wagons filled with equipment in Wayne, Alberta ca. 1918. The tractor train was likely on its way to or from the Petersen’s farmlands in the Drumheller area where the Dalum Danish colony was located.
