Brooks

Step into a piece of prairie history at the Brooks Aqueduct — a Historic Site built by the irrigation division of the Canadian Pacific Railway in the early 1910s. Once a vital part of an ambitious irrigation network, this impressive structure stretches nearly a kilometre across the prairie landscape.

During Open Farm Days, explore the site, learn about early irrigation innovations, and discover how water helped shape agriculture in Southern Alberta. A must-visit for history buffs, families, and anyone curious about how the land was transformed for farming over a century ago!
