History Doesn’t Hibernate at the Fort Heritage Precinct

History doesn’t hibernate, and neither do guided tours at the Fort Heritage Precinct. Tours continue throughout the winter, offering an engaging look at Fort Saskatchewan’s past.

Tours are available Monday to Friday from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. During the school year, Fort Heritage Precinct staff are frequently hosting student groups, so advance booking is preferred.

Group tours outside regular hours may be available by special arrangement.

To learn more or to book a tour, visit fortheritageprecinct.ca.
