Welcome to our history post where I share some history with an old photo and meaningful writing. The historical reflections in my posts aim to convey the profound connection between the past and present, illustrating how God’s presence is interwoven with the passage of time. The rich tapestry of history comes alive, enhancing our awareness of the divine in nature and human experiences. Each post is a testament to the enduring grace and guidance of the divine, drawing us closer to the eternal embrace of faith.
SATURDAY POST: Dead Man’s flat is located just East of Canmore and at the time would have been in the Banff National Park. It was originally named Pigeon Mountain Service Centre, but after a gruesome 1904 murder, locals unofficially adopted the name. The Banff National Park holds many tales, each adding depth and character to its natural beauty. From the indigenous traditions that have been woven into the fabric of the park to the more recent events that have shaped its landscapes, the history of this area is a rich tapestry waiting to be explored.
Marilyn at Norquay
In 1953, Ms. Marilyn Monroe was pictured riding up the chair lift at Norquay, Banff, while filming 20th Century Fox’s “River of No Return” with Robert Mitchum. During her time there, she unfortunately sustained an ankle injury and sought recuperation at the “Banff Springs.” The movie, filmed in CinemaScope, extensively utilized the picturesque landscapes of Banff and Jasper National Parks, as well as Lake Louise, Alberta.
