THE FORKS NATIONAL
HISTORIC SITE
When visiting Winnipeg, ask any local and they
will proudly proclaim The Forks is the place
to be! Whether in the sweet summer heat or
the whimsical winter frost, The Forks bustles with
events, festivals, and activities.
Located at the junction of the Red and
Assiniboine rivers, The Forks has been a meeting
place that began with Indigenous peoples,
followed by European traders, and later with rail
yards and surges of immigration. The history of
The Forks tells the dynamic tale of how Winnipeg
grew into the beating heart of our continent.
Take a guided tour covering The Forks' 6,000
years of history in 60 minutes, and join us
for exciting activities all summer long! Visit

LOWER FORT GARRY
NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE
Embracing the eastern edge of the vast
Canadian prairies, Lower Fort Garry National
Historic Site is an iconic 19th century fur trade-
era fort situated above the Red River. As the
place where Treaty No. 1 was made, the fort also
served as the first prison and training centre for
the North-West Mounted Police before becoming
Manitoba's first asylum years later.
Join our daily programs, gather around the
campfire for Stories at Sunset, or celebrate our
special events this summer!

your own. Free motorcoach parking and
complimentary admission for a tour escort and
