Fort Calgary |
The heart of Calgary is red – the
scarlet red of the North West
Mounted Police (NWMP) tunic.
When the NWMP built their fort at the
confluence of the Bow and Elbow rivers
in 1875, they laid the foundation for the
city we enjoy today. Discover the hopes
and dreams of the Mounted Police and
Calgary from 1875-1914 in a lively
Interpretive Centre located on 40 acres
of parkland. Stroll across the Elbow
River to the Deane House, the lovingly
restored historic home of NWMP
Captain Richard Deane, now operating
as a restaurant.
The site is open year round and is
located at 750 - 9th Avenue S.E. in
Calgary.
