TORRINGTON, ALBERTA

'Torrington' is a small hamlet in central Alberta, Canada about 160 km northeast of Calgary at the junction of Highway 27 and Highway 805.
The main industry is agriculture.
The community is home to the Gopher Hole Museum, dedicated to stuffed Richardson's ground squirrels (technically not gophers) in anthropomorphic settings.
For those who seek out large roadside attractions, there is a very large outdoor gopher sculpture (12 ft high) named "Clem T. GoFur".
All 11 of Torrington's fire hydrants were painted to look like gophers.
