Rosedale was home to a variety of coal mines before their closure in the 1970s. The 117 meters (384 ft) long Star Mine Suspension Bridge built in 1931 over the Red Deer River used to connect the settlement with coal mines established on the opposite side of the river. It was rebuilt in 1958, and now serves as a tourist attraction. A miner memorial is also located in Rosedale.
