Fort Smith Attractions

Fort Smith evolved from a one-time fur trading post on the Mackenzie River route to a multicultural community in the far north of Canada. From 1911 to 1967 it was the administrative capital of the Northwest Territories, a role which was then assumed by Yellowknife. A number of NWT government departments are still located in Fort Smith and the town's schools and training colleges have a national reputation.

Northern Life Museum

Apart from various prehistoric finds such as mammoth remains, etc. the Northern Life Museum in Fort Smith concentrates on the human history of the region. Exhibits include everyday Inuit artifacts and handwork, photographs and other documents relating to the pioneering days and early settlers, and Indian craftwork.
