As part of our trip to Edmonton we visited Fort Edmonton Park:
One of Edmonton's premier attractions, the Park represents four distinct time periods, exploring Edmonton's development from a fur trade post in the vast Northwest, to a booming metropolitan centre after the First World War. The park features over 75 structures many of which are the originals. Costumed interpreters operate the site and live the way of the past. Exploring each building, each room, and talking to the 'inhabitants' makes for an extremely enjoyable recreational visit. This attraction can be viewed in a few hours or may take many return visits to appreciate the sense of the past.
Highly recommended if you like that "living history" crapola, which I do. Craptacular!
To the right you can see my very own shot of the 1885 Street (click on the thumbnail ...). I spent most of my time in the Saloon, stumbled out, dropped the camera and somehow this wound up on the picture card.
