The Confluence Historic Site & Parkland
The former Fort Calgary site sits where the Bow and Elbow rivers meet. Exhibits and parkland connect the North-West Mounted Police fort with deeper Blackfoot history.
Why go
Start with the river confluence to understand why this site mattered, then use the Blackfoot life and culture exhibit and the replica 1888 barracks to compare histories presented here. The grounds and self-guided audio tour make the visit broader than a single reconstructed fort building.
What to look for
The Bow and Elbow rivers meet beside the historic site.
