Great photo of this place! Still one I hope to see someday soon.
Thanks Jenn! There’s now a beautifully paved road that runs right by it, all the way to the doorstep of Dinosaur Provincial Park.
Jonathan, thank you for posting this amazing image and its history. I first found this information on “Find a Grave” while searching for Edward and Elizabeth Turner and their family members. They are part of my family genealogy- Tree of Turners of Minnesota. The Find a grave website ; posted Forgotten Alberta as its source. I spent the afternoon enjoying your website and found it to be so interesting and loved the history. Thank you for persevering History. Jennifer Turner Brand
Hi Jennifer – it’s great to hear from you! I didn’t realize this was on Find A Grave, I’m grateful for the attribution. There is now a sign at the “Turner House”, I will be posting an image of it in the coming weeks. Stay tuned! I’d also be grateful for any history on the Turners of Cessford that you’d be willing to share. I will touch base with you offline to inquire. Have a great day 🙂
