This is the historic site where the Northwest Mounted Police built the castle in 1875, but it's gone now, and it's this beautiful park with wide lawns that oozes its charm. In the Interpretation Center located in a corner of the park, the scene of the Northwest Mounted Police at that time was reproduced, and the video was also shown.

Staying in Calgary is not long, so I looked at the historical park from Maguanhua that I need to buy tickets. Personally, I prefer natural landscapes. Man-made attractions can be ignored.
I visited the National Historic Site of Calgary Castle because there was an art fair there. I first visited all Artsan booths. The building is beautiful. After that, I visited the museum. It's very special, because everything depends on how it's set up. For example, the NWMP area is built in the same way as the original police station, and the CPR station is similar to the original station and has a track. It's really cool! It shows Calgary's history from the 1800s and how it evolved from a small police Fortress into a town. It's interesting. This town is not what it used to be!
Early in the morning from Vancouver to Calgary, in the afternoon to visit Heritage Park, Heritage Park, a small train to 2024 happened to meet a group of small "Jane Eyre" super cute.
Theme parks, suitable for children to play, will not make them feel boring, but also understand many customs, historical features. They can take boats, trains and carriages. Most of the veteran comrades in the staff are friendly.
Calgary Fort was founded in 1875 by mounted police in the northwest as Brissibouwa Fort, at the confluence of Calgary and the Elbow River in present-day Alberta Province. The site was acquired by Calgary in 1974 and reopened as a historical site and Museum in 1978. Very much like here, near the water, not many people, very comfortable!
The Kalgariburg Historic Park, which was built in 1875 and covers 15 hectares, was built by the Northwest Mounted Police Force at the junction of the Bow River and the Albert River. Now the castle no longer exists, but it has been transformed into a Kalgariburg Historic Park. This Park vividly shows the early life background of the famous Canadian Mounted Police Force. There is an Interpretive Center in the park, which shows slides from time to time, introducing the Northwest Mounted Police in 15 minutes.
