The Fort Museum of the North West Mounted Police is a delightful local attraction, dedicated to preserving the history of the North West Mounted Police and the First Nations of Southern Alberta.

The museum is a re-creation of the original Fort built in 1874. It houses a variety of unique artifacts from the days of the NWMP and the First Nations. It is also the birth place of the famous RCMP Musical Ride.

The Fort is the only on-site Musical Ride in all of Canada preforming a replica of the original NWMP Musical Ride. This ride takes place four times daily in July and August. This is an entertaining glimpse into the heritage and traditions of Canada’s national police force, all within the walls of a beautifully maintained historic site.

There is also opportunity to step behind the scene and participate in a Canadian Signature Experience, Groom A Horse. Check online for summer seasonal open hours.
