Fort Calgary

In 1875, the North West Mounted Police constructed a wooden fort that would become the birthplace of Calgary. Located at the confluence of the Bow and Elbow rivers, Fort Calgary now serves as a gateway to the city’s formative years from 1875 to 1914. Visitors can explore interactive exhibits, replica barracks, and an interpretive center, all designed to provide a vivid understanding of the early days of this burgeoning metropolis. Guided tours offer deeper insights into the historical context and the lives of those who shaped the city.
