Northern Alberta Pioneers & Descendants Association
The pioneers of Alberta,
through their foresight and perseverance, were instrumental in building the
foundation of this great province. They were instrumental in establishing
towns, cities, the government, the university, the Calgary & Edmonton Railway,
boards of trade, The Historical Society
of Alberta and many other institutions. On this infrastructure future
generations were to build the Alberta we know today.
We preserve the past for future generations by gathering the history of the pioneers and their descendants.
Looking for
the
Southern Alberta Pioneers and Their
Descendants?
To commemorate the pioneers of Northern Alberta and Alberta's Golden Jubilee, the NAPDA built The Old Timers Cabin in 1958.
In 2000, we erected a field
stone cairn with an attached plaque in front of the building. The plaque says:
"Dedicated in memory of those early settlers of the Edmonton trading area.
Their courage, hope, determination and vision made this a great land. The
Northern Alberta Pioneers and Descendants Association erected this memorial as
a remembrance in gratitude to them. "
Over the years our members have voluntarily spent enormous amounts of time and money maintaining the building and grounds and researching and preserving the history of the pioneers. NAPDA hopes that this website will make us better known and that descendants of pioneers and other researchers will be able to communicate with us more easily.
You may wish to do research and help to rescue from oblivion the history of the pioneers. Or, you may wish to augment our Archives by donating pioneer histories, pictures and other artifacts relating to them. In which case please contact the Historian.
