    The purpose of this blog is for Japanese students or other students to find sites and history around St. Albert    area. Also to provide some basic information about the History of Alberta.
    The St. Albert Library  is a unique building as its architecture is quite different and abstract.




    The first Library in St. Albert was a travelling collection operated by Susie Atkinson in the 1930s. Mrs. Atkinson would obtain books from the Department of Extension at the University and circulate them from her home or at various gatherings and meetings in the community.
    From 1946 to 1967 the embryo library, under the initial sponsorship of the Women's Institute, had a number of homes, including the Farm Produce Office on Perron Street, Mr. Benoit's butcher shop, the Community Hall and the Town Hall. In 1961 the Town Council established a municipal library under the Provincial Libraries Act. In 1967 the St. Albert Public Library opened in its own building on Glenview Crescent. The rapid growth of the City soon rendered the building inadequate and a new library was included in the plans made in the late 1970s for a Civic and Cultural Centre. In March of 1982 the Library moved to an interim site at 31 Fairview Boulevard, and in December 1983, opened in St. Albert Place.

    Inside the Library 

    The Grain Elevator was originally built by the Broxs brothers they had originally built five grain elevators however only one remains today as the others were destroyed by fires. The Grain Elevator has been turned into a small museum. As you can see how the old grain elevators operated. Also there is a farmers market held on the ground every saturday that sells special home made goods from food to clothing.

    Here is a picture of the grain elevator


    The St. Albert Grain Elevator Park features the 1906 Alberta Grain Company Elevator and the 1929 Alberta Wheat Pool Elevator, which were both designated as Provincial Historic Resources in January of 2007.The Grain Elevator Park is also home to the St. Albert Train Station and Visitor Centre.  Built in 2005, this station offers visitors a chance to stand on the platform of a replica 1920s train station.

    Fr. Albert Lacombe founded the St. Albert Mission in 1861, atop what is now St. Albert's Mission Hill on the current location of St. Albert Parish.

    The Westlock & District Tractor Museum Foundation was formed in 1999 with the vision of developing a world-class museum in Westlock, Alberta dedicated to vintage tractors.There are more than two hundred fully-restored antique tractors owned by the museum and members of the Vintage Tractor Club.In 2006 the Foundation added a storage building for steam engines and extra tractors.
    This facility enables our community to preserve a large part of the area’s rich farming history, and prevent the loss of local collections of historical significance to collectors in the United States and Europe.

    This is a Picture of a really old tractor there are many others like this one there but different years and makes and models.
