Village of Stirling |
The Village of Stirling is the best-preserved
Canadian example of the distinctive
settlement pattern known as a Mormon
Agricultural Village or the Plat of Zion. The wide
streets and large farmstead lots with barns are
hallmarks of a Mormon village. Stop in at the
interpretive kiosk at the entrance to the Village
or visit the restored Michelsen House, a typical
family farm of the early 20th century. The Galt
Historic Railway Park with a restored train
station is nearby. Both guided and self-guided
tours of the town help you discover this unique
environment.
These sites are open May long weekend to
Labour Day, Friday to Monday. Stirling is
28 km SE of Lethbridge on Hwy. 4.
