About
Welcome! Fort Macleod has such a rich heritage and so much of it is preserved! We hope you will enjoy this tour which highlights architectural features of heritage homes and churches, and also provides a glimpse into the lives of the people who are connected with this heritage.
The tour begins at the Holy Cross Catholic Church across the street to the east from the Fort Museum riding arena and highlights a variety of unique historical buildings across the town.
We hope that you will also explore the other tours on the On This Spot app and learn more about Fort Macleod’s rich heritage and the important role the pioneers of this community played in establishing Alberta and Western Canada.

Organizer
On This Spot
The On This Spot app takes people on guided walking tours through the history that surrounds them.
At each stop on their journey users will find themselves standing on the spot a historic photo was taken. They can view a then and now photo comparison, use the built in camera to create their own, and read about local history and how it ties into the broader human experience.
Based in Vancouver, On This Spot is working with heritage, tourism, and business organizations across Canada to expand the app's coverage.
