Livery barn, 1917 - 1967, H. Swallow • Rowley ghost town, Alberta, Canada
March 27, 2005 • By Lorien

We had a day trip to Rowley on March 27, 2005. Rowley, a small pioneers town, resides some 180 km northeast of Calgary. It slipped into ghost town status in the 70s, made a comeback during the 80s, and now it's on its way to become a ghost town again.

We fell in love with the idea of exploring Alberta's ghost towns.

Something in these old abandoned places which ones were a home to pioneers is very appealing to us... in a romantic sort of way. It's also part of Alberta's history which we can learn first hand, and besides, we love taking photos of old stuff.
