The Fort Museum
Welcome to the Fort Museum of the North West Mounted Police and First Nations Interpretive Centre
The Fort Museum is located at Fort Macleod, Alberta and is one of the main attractions in southern Alberta. The museum includes 8 buildings, over 11,000 artifacts, and an archival collection. The museum houses two of the oldest buildings in the area that are restored on their original sites: the Fred Kanouse trading cabin and Frederick Haultain’s law office.
Visit the museum to view the NWMP Musical Ride or to participate in our educational school program and the Groom-A-Horse program. Through our programs we aim to educate, entertain, and provide a unique historical experience!
After learning about Fort Macleod’s unique history, stop at the Visitor Information Centre inside the museum to plan the rest of your trip and take home a souvenir from the Gift Shop.
Closed for the Season.
