Fort Edmonton
Fort Edmonton is a former military fort in Edmonton, Alberta that has been converted into a park and become one of the city's premier tourist attractions. It represents four distinct time periods, exploring Edmonton's development from a fur trade post in the vast Northwest, to a booming metropolitan centre after the First World War.
The park features over 75 structures many of which are the originals. Costumed interpreters operate the site and live the way of the past. Exploring each building, each room, and talking to the 'inhabitants' makes for an extremely enjoyable recreational visit. This attraction can be viewed in a few hours or may take many return visits to appreciate the sense of the past.
Free steam engine train and streetcar rides, as well as period rides such as wagon, stagecoach, pony and buggy are a big hit with everyone.
