Visited Fort Steele today. One more historic town under our belts…..and yet another step back in time. To the 1890’s to be exact. Situated on over 12 acres there are many heritage shops, display buildings and museum exhibits. Many of the buildings are original, others have been re-created for the ambiance of the village. We watched a blacksmith at work demonstrating the making of horse shoes. We watched a demonstration on gold panning. We took a ride through the town in a horse-drawn wagon. We even took a ride on the Fort Steele Railway. The “Living History” performance at the Wild Horse Theatre as called “The True Story of How the Train Came to Fort Steele (almost)”. It was quite entertaining.
e day we arrived (August 31st) Michel went river rafting with his sister Lise and a group. It was his first time and he had a blast. Unfortunately I had hurt my back and was moving verrry slowly, so I didn't get to partake in the 'fun' things that weekend..... besides rafting, Michel was kept entertained.
