This town, northwest of Edmonton, was an important stopping point on the Klondike Trail. Long before that, an Indigenous trail cut through the region, and the first letter from BC to Montreal travelled along that trail. Barrhead's history includes a dust-up over American and British flags, the custody battle over a moose and more! There have also been a couple near disasters!
