Lower Fort
Garry National
Historic Site
Take time to stroll through the centuries of history at
Lower Fort Garry. It's circa 1830s setting remains open
throughout the year with self-guided tours, a must-see
for anyone looking to soak up the past amongst the
limestone walls where Treaty No. 1 was signed.
Parks Canada has developed new brochures highlighting
the stories behind each building within the Fort's famed
façade. It's a great way to discover this significant trading
post that is steeped in Canadian history.
Within its massive gate you'll encounter buildings like the
yurt-shaped Southwest Bastion, the famed Big House with
its wraparound porch, the Fur Loft and Men's House - all
of which are part of the finest collection of early stone
buildings in Western Canada.
Lower Fort Garry is located just 30 minutes from
downtown Winnipeg.
