Heritage Park

Heritage Park grew out of the connection Calgarians have to the preservation of our shared history. The Park continues that vision, telling diverse stories of those who came before us.

Heritage Park Historical Village first opened its gates on July 1, 1964. Since opening its doors, the Park has grown into one of Calgary’s premier tourist attractions. Our mission is to connect people with the history of Western Canada, preserving our culture and heritage for generations to come. Throughout the year, guests have the opportunity to interact with nearly 100 years of history. Heritage Park’s exhibits span the early 1860s fur trade to the petroleum and automobile-dominated 1950s. It is the Park’s mission to document the history of the early West and to educate and entertain guests of all ages

Heritage Park relies on a diverse team of hundreds of volunteers to support our special programming and daily museum operations. Volunteers gain valuable work experience, share their expertise, meet new people daily, and become active community members.
