Free admission for evacuees
Alberta’s government is offering free general admission to our world-class museums and historic sites in support of displaced Albertans who must leave their homes due to wildfires. Visitors are asked to provide their postal code or government ID to verify their evacuation status. Sites will continue to offer free admission until evacuees are able to return home.

Fort George & Buckingham House hosts school programs from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on weekdays in May and June. To ensure interpreters are available to give you a guided tour, please arrive after 2:30 p.m.

Whether you come with a passion for history or with a desire to make great family memories, you will be intrigued by the stories of these fur trade forts during 1792. Take a guided walk on a winding trail through the aspen forest. Stand where the forts once stood and where history actually happened.
