More than a museum—step into the stories that shaped the West. Experience guided tours, interactive programs, family activities, live demonstrations, special events, and unforgettable encounters that bring history beyond the walls of a traditional museum. Little visitors can even Saddle Up at the Fort, where they dress the part, meet our horses, and discover history through hands-on adventure.
Become a new recruit through our newly opened Barracks experience, where visitors can step into the life of the North-West Mounted Police through historic spaces available for tours for the first time in 2026. Explore the Fort, discover the stories of the NWMP, and learn about the Indigenous peoples whose knowledge, resilience, and connections to this land continue to shape its story.
Located in Fort Macleod, the birthplace of the world-famous Musical Ride, the Fort Museum proudly continues this tradition with summer performances that honour its origins. From horses and heritage to hands-on experiences, our famous Fort goats, and powerful storytelling, discover a place where history is shared, experienced, and remembered.
