The Hamlet of Kelsey is about 30 kilometres southeast of Camrose along the Battle River Railway.
Originally settled in 1902, the little community is named after one of the two original families in the area: the Kelseys. In 1915, the Canadian Pacific Railway began laying steel in a south-easterly direction from Camrose including Kelsey. This stretch of railroad is noted for being the longest stretch of straight railway in North America.
At one time, Kelsey was home to a train station, two stores, a church and a dance hall. Now with a small population of 15, this little community has a post office, community hall, and park. Kelsey is known as a loading site where people start their journey of adventurous train excursions.
Nearby is the “Littlest Airport”, a must-see stop if you are interested in model planes.
