4 areas of the park will show you how life used to be.
Travel by steam train though the park and arrive in 1846 Edmonton when it was still a fort. Log walls enclose the fort and protect everyone inside. One of my favorite parts is the fur trading post. Furs are out to touch and see (unfortunately they are real) as well as beads, cotton cloth, guns and many other things an 1800's man might need.
Walking through the park all the staff are dressed in costume appropriate to the year they "work" in, it adds a fun element.
Moving out of the fort the other places to visit are 1885 street, 1905 street, 1920 street and the 1920's midway.
There are a few different farms around the park. This one has only horses. Another also has horses, they are used for pulling buggies and rides. One other farm also has pigs.
People are free to go into all the buildings. Houses, shops, a bakery and you can even find a working
theatre and a hotel that people actually stay in!
A few of the house are original's from the time when they are displayed for and have been moved to the park.
The train station is where you enter the park. I think it is very exciting.. I'm
easily amused that way.
The horses on the carousel are all hand carved by volunteers specifically for the park.
They are all beautiful. It's always exciting to run around finding the
horse that's just right for you. This ride never gets old for me.
We couldn't pass up the chance to sit in the old desks in the 1905 school house.
We always have an awesome time when we come to the park. I think it's a really awesome place to come with anyone, kids and kids at heart.
