Town of Banff

Building on Tradition

The time lapse photos on these pages allow you to compare a landmark scene in Banff over two different time periods, using historic photographs provided by the Harmon Gallery and the Whyte Museum.

The idea here is to get you thinking about how the townsite has changed over the years, and where it might go in the future.
