Traditionally the crossroads and hub for South West Alberta, Fort Macleod is strategically located at the Junction of Highway 2 and Highway 3: North to Calgary, Edmonton and on to Alaska; East to Lethbridge, Taber, Medicine Hat, Saskatchewan, and/or Montana; West to Pincher Creek, the Crowsnest Pass, the Rocky Mountains and British Columbia; and South to Cardston, Waterton National Park, the United States Glacier National Park and Montana. Just 16 km west is Head Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Take a walk through Western Canada’s history. The first home of the fabled North West Mounted Police, established in 1874, Fort Macleod became a vibrant community. Our “Main Street” is the only provincially designated Historic Area in Alberta. Over thirty historic and architecturally significant buildings, dating from the 1880’s can be enjoyed on a self guided walking tour. Shopping down Main Street is a treat.
