  That's the entire fort, just the front wall
by penumbra
 
 

Calgary began as a fort built between the Bow and Elbow rivers. On the original site, the part of the fort has been rebuilt, the front wall (what Hollywood calls a façade). To the side is a small expensive museum with some frontier artifacts.

Fun Alternatives: Save your money for the Glenbow museum which has a better collection of artifacts and Heritage Park with its authentic period buildings.

Review Helpfulness: 2.5 out of 5 stars
