OUR MISSION
The McDougall Stoney Mission Society is a historical society that engages people in learning and understanding the shared history of the early settlers and the Îyârhe Stoney people. The Society cares for and interprets the historical Morleyville Settlement site, landmarks, and historic buildings thereon, while creating connections between people, communities, cultures, and the land for future generations.
"From a very high foothill we gazed on this prospect with admiration and wonder. Within 3 miles stood the grand old mountain, the wild goat and sheep sporting on its highest summit. At the foot of the hill, and in perfect ignorance of our presence, a band of buffalo were feeding on the richest pasture. To the right of us, and on the North bank of the river, is the location which we have selected for our new mission."
From a letter by Rev. George McDougall dated May 28, 1873
