Athabasca Heritage Society Note Cards
Proceeds from the sales of these cards support AHS historic signage and Riverfront Site projects.
Set 1 Community Quilt: $12.00 per set of six cards, each of a different square or view of the quilt
Athabasca (1750-1890) is the first of three appliquéd fabric panels depicting the early Athabasca community. The Quilt Project is sponsored by the Athabasca Heritage Society, organized by Ann Stiles, and created by several quilters from the region. The theme for the second quilt is boom-town Athabasca (1891-1912) and the third quilt theme is area settlement (1912 onward). The quilts will be on display at public buildings in the region.
Set 2 Street Banners: $10.00 per set of five cards; each of a different banner
Captain Shot, Hudson's Bay Post at Athabasca Landing, Scow Building at Athabasca Landing, Packing Supplies, and Train at Athabasca Station are the five street banner themes created by artist Dennis Jacobs, commissioned by the Athabasca Heritage Society. These banners were displayed along 50th Avenue adjacent to the Heritage Society Riverfront Site during the summer and fall of 2001. Set 3
Unloading Cargo at Grand Island: $5.00 per set; two different close-ups of the mural
These cards show two views of the Athabasca Riverfront mural of packers unloading freight from scows and riverboats at Grand Island, and then reloading the boats past the treacherous Grand Rapids. A second mural shows trackers pulling fur laden scows up river to Athabasca Landing. These murals were created by artist Dennis Jacobs and were sponsored by the Athabasca Heritage Society and Athabasca University.
