Fort Edmonton Park
A little way outside the city, on the south bank of the river on Whitemud Drive/Fox Drive, lies Fort Edmonton Park. In this open-air museum, with old buildings faithfully reconstructed and staff dressed in contemporary costume, a successful attempt has been made to reflect Edmonton's historical development. The buildings include a typical 1846 fort belonging to the Hudson's Bay Company, a street from a pioneer town of 1885 and the up-and-coming provincial capital in 1905, as well as buildings from the 1920s. Among the different forms of old transport displayed in the extensive grounds at the Fort Edmonton Park are an historic mail coach and horse-drawn wagon as well as an old tram and a steam train.
