This short stretch of highway is a symbol of the treaty that began central Alberta settlements. Many original farms and houses still stand and 4 houses were given the centennial award for having kept the farms in their family. The highway is very documented in historical books and references. One of the 1st baptist churches of Canada was erected there as well as one of the 1st telephones. Hwy 13 goes generally unnoticed unless you look and realize that every tree was planted by hand, that the farms that stand tall where cleared by hand, that this was a fought for land, sold to immigrants and has become one of the most fertile soils in Canada. It is a beautiful piece of Canadian history.
