About
Step back in time and experience the golden era of rail travel with an RV camping stay at a truly unique location in Hanna, Alberta. As the whistle of history echoes through the prairie skies, visitors have the magnificent opportunity to get up close with a restored piece of Canadian railroad history. Engage with a living testament to the ingenuity of the early 20th century - a 1913 roundhouse, one of Western Canada's last original structures complete with an operational turntable. This sprawling, 19,000 square-foot site, featuring 10 locomotive bays and an attached 3,700 square-foot boiler room and machine shop, is not just a historical landmark, but a labor of love meticulously brought back to its former glory by a dedicated team of volunteers. RV campers looking for a unique overnight spot will find this location not only steeped in heritage but also ripe with stories of those who once worked within these storied walls. Ideal for history buffs and train enthusiasts, the roundhouse offers a uniquely immersive experience that goes beyond the typical RV camping trip. While you revel in the nostalgia, your stay at this non-profit, volunteer-run haven helps to support both the preservation of this local railway relic and the rural community that cherishes it. And for those inclined to contribute further to this noble cause, the society welcomes donations, with the ability to issue tax receipts for those who desire. Embrace an unmatched RV camping encounter, where every sunset against the backdrop of Alberta's vast landscapes feels like a scene captured in time, and every starry night promises serenity and reflection amidst a monument of Canadian history.
