About
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 9,000 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.
Come and visit us virtually!

Organizer
On This Spot
On This Spot guides people on a tour back in time, showing & telling the history that surrounds them. On each spot, users will find themselves standing in the footsteps of a photographer who took a historic photo. On site tourists/users can use the built-in camera feature to create their own then-and-photos, which can be shared on social media and saved as a digital souvenir. Selections of these photos are chained together into walking tours that take a deep dive into local history.
On This Spot strives to make history engaging, educational, and accessible to all with a focus on easy to use features and a succinct writing style. The aim is to create an intuitive user experience that provides historical unparalleled depth without overwhelming or confusing users.
