Fort Edmonton

If you're ever in Edmonton, Alberta, you have to visit Fort Edmonton. It's a park on the Fort Saskatchewan river with a reconstructed 19th century Fort. There is also a town leading up to the fort, composed of historical buildings that have been moved onto the riverbank location, and a steam locomotive with period passenger cars that take you from the station, past the farms and to the fort. The buildings are functional, and inhabited by people re-enacting
the time period.
Fort Edmonton is open during the summer.
You can see more at
It's an excellent website with a lot of photographs, definitely worth a click.

I took these are pictures in Rowand House, the Governor's building inside the Fort.
