Wayne - Ghost Town----Deep in the heart of Alberta’s Badlands, ghostowners can find the tiny village of Wayne, once a thriving coal-mining town of more than 2,000. But now, the ghosts are knocking in Wayne, which has witnessed its population dwindle to about 40 diehard souls.
Rosedeer Hotel-----Stay in a 100-year-old hotel in the heart of a ghost town! The Rosedeer Hotel is located in the ghost town of Wayne: population 27. Built in this once booming coal mining town, The Rosedeer Hotel opened its doors in 1913.
Wayne was a mining town with a population of more than 2,000 people. Today, it’s one of the few places where you can visit a saloon with real bullet holes in the walls in a ghost town that is said to have real ghosts. Located about 16 kilometres southeast of Drumheller, Wayne sprung up when the Red Deer Coal Company built the Rose Deer Mine, in 1912. The town had two schools, a hospital, several shops, a hotel and a saloon that miners affectionately dubbed the “Bucket of Blood” due to a large number of drunken brawls. When the mines in the Drumheller area closed down in the 1930s, the town slowly died.
