Fort Walsh National Historic Site

Fort Walsh National Historic Site

Located in the West Block of Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, Fort Walsh National Historic Site was the headquarters of the North West Mounted Police from 1878 to 1882.  This historic site is more than just a museum.  It is an experience.

Step back in time to the 1870s and discover what life was like on a working fort in the lawless time of rotgut whikey runners.  Imagine the scarlett serge clad NWMP marching on parade, hear Metis legends handed down through generations and learn traditional crafts and skills.

The Interpretive Centre is full of interactive learning opportunities and there is even a theatre where you can watch a short film to learn about the history of Fort Walsh.

A short walk down the hill leads you to the fenced in fort where you can wander and explore the various buildings and chat with guides who dress in period appropriate clothing.  Beyond the fort, you can find walking trails with interpretive signs and, if you feel energetic, a set of the red chairs can be found on the hills south of the fort.

Finish your day with a snack from the small food menu while enjoying the view from the deck.
