Beiseker Station Museum, a photo from Alberta, Prairies

Photographer's Note

Beiseker is a village in the Province of Alberta, Canada. It is approximately 70 kilometres northeast of Calgary. It is considered to be an outermost part of the Calgary Region and is included within Calgary's Census Metropolitan Area (CMA).
Lying in a belt of rich black soil, Beiseker was developed as an agricultural service centre. It was founded by the Calgary Colonization Company whose purpose was to promote settlement by demonstrating the grain growing potential of the area. The Village name comes from Thomas Beiseker, one of the partners and vice-president of the company. Initial colonization took place in 1908 when the company recruited a number of ethnic German settlers from the Great Plains of the Dakotas. This is reflected in the number of German family names which predominate the area.

Hello Roberto,

Your picture shows a little bit winter with the snow in foreground.
The building and silos make your picture nice.
Also my Uncle is in 1919 emigrated to Canada, one of his grand children lives yet in Canada
An excellent composition and lovely presentation.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice day,
John.
