Bankhead Ghost Town

Nestled within Alberta’s Banff National Park, Bankhead Ghost Town offers a unique glimpse into the region’s industrial past. Once a bustling coal-mining town, Bankhead thrived during its operational years before the mine closed in the 1920s. As the residents and many of the buildings moved on, the town was left to become a ghostly reminder of its former glory. Today, visitors can explore the remnants of this once-thriving community, imagining the sounds of the mines and the lives of those who called it home.
