We tell the story of the buffalo robe, the 19th century fur trade, and all the folks who called the Oldman River Valley home over the centuries. We offer unique interactive experiences, authentic stories, and a glimpse back to Alberta's founding history. Come and learn about Southwestern Alberta's amazing past though the viewpoints of the Niitistapi (Blackfoot) Metis, and early settlers.
