In honor of Alberta's Centennial, the magestic beauty of the grain elevator is celebrated by artist Karen Brownlee and author Ken Tingley in 128 vibrant paintings with descriptive text.

Based on the artist's Rural Prairie Communities series, Alberta Remembers pays homage to this rapidly disappearing icon that played such a central role in the development of the Prairie West.

Includes forewords by Jane Ross, Curator, Western Canadian History, Royal Alberta Museum and Daniel T. Gallacher, Curator Emeritus, Canadian Museum of Civilization.
