One of the distinctive landmarks of the badlands of Alberta is Drumheller's Little Church in Drumheller Valley. The small wood building was initially erected by Tyvge "Tig" Seland (also known for his local dinosaur statues) in 1958. Undertaken in coordination with the local Pentecostal Church, it was designed to provide locals with a place of meditation and worship. The church incorporated a pulpit, a brass bell in tiny steeple, and stained glass windows.

Housing half a dozen single-person pews, the church on the North Dinosaur Trail (beyond the Royal Tyrrell Museum) was reputed to serve a congregation of 10,000 people, six worshippers at a time. It was rebuilt by inmates of the local Drumheller Institution in 1991. In 2014, after it was vandalized and set on fire, the Little Church was again refurbished, with the entire structure transported to a carpentry shop. Today, the church is going strong as a tourist site and house of worship and holds regular services on Sunday.
