We invite you to Lower Fort Garry National
Historic Site which towers safely above the
high-water mark of Manitoba's infamous Red
River. The fort's newly refurbished stone walls
and sturdy historic buildings were established in
the eastern edge of the vast Canadian prairies,
and today, skilled costumed interpreters keep its
vibrant spirit alive.
Explore this place of firsts, where a young
Western Canada began to take shape. This
was the site where important treaties with our
region's First Nations were made. Our staff offers
heritage interpretation to celebrate these historic
agreements.
Lower Fort Garry was also the first training centre
for the North-West Mounted Police, later it was
Manitoba's first prison and insane asylum.
Our programs are flexible and able to
accommodate special interests and busy
schedules. Book a private guided tour or explore
on your own. There are "Behind-the-Scenes" tours
and a variety of interactive programs for pre-
booked groups of all sizes and ages.
The fort offers ample free motorcoach parking
and complimentary admission for a tour escort
and driver. A restaurant, gift shop, programming,
facility rentals and English and French language
services are available on site.
