‘Ghosts of the Past’ – Ghost Collection Sculpture Tour

Have you seen the ghosts of Red Deer? This renowned bronze public art collection was initiated by the Downtown Business Association and helps tell some of the stories of Red Deer’s past. The ghosts represent people, folklore and past ways of life. Most sculptures are symbols of times past, of community spirit or service that made Red Deer a better place to live.

 

The ghosts were created by local and provincial artists and these sculptures are part of the City of Red Deer’s public art collection for all to enjoy throughout the downtown core. It is one of the largest life-size bronze sculpture collections in Canada.

Red Deer Revealed: Downtown Buildings Walking Tour

What was Red Deer like over 100 years ago? In the early days, Ross Street has been a destination for visitors since the arrival of the railway in the 1890’s. Downtown was lined with hotels, cafes, entertainment and businesses and city parks for locals and visitors to Central Alberta. For decades, Little Gaetz avenue was the place to shop in Red Deer. Learn about the people and places that shaped Red Deer and enjoy the public art along the way.
