Nordegg is an old coal mining town that was practically abandoned by the 1950s when the mine shut down. The few remaining jobs are associated with a minimum security prison and tourism. The church is still there and active along with a combination store / gas station, a motel open only in the summer, and a museum that closes for the winter.
