Fort Calgary

Overview

The heart of Calgary is red; the scarlet red of the North West Mounted Police (NWMP). In 1875, when the Mounties built their fort on the sacred land at the confluence of the Bow and Elbow Rivers, they laid the foundations for the city that we enjoy today. Today, Fort Calgary is an interpretive centre, a 40 acre park, and lots more. Visit the museum, join us for Sunday Brunch, and shop in the gift shop! Open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. all year round.
