Heritage Park Historical Village, Open-air museum in Calgary, Canada

Heritage Park Historical Village is a living history museum on 127 acres beside the Glenmore Reservoir in Calgary. It holds over 100 exhibits, including a re-created prairie railway town, a pre-railway settlement with a replica Hudson's Bay Company fort, a First Nations encampment, an antique midway, and a 1913 synagogue. Many buildings were moved to the site; others are re-creations, and most are furnished with genuine artifacts.

Heritage Park Historical Village opened on 1 July 1964 on parkland beside the Glenmore Reservoir. Its four zones follow western Canadian history in sequence: a Hudson's Bay Company fur-trade fort of about 1864, a pre-railway settlement village of about 1880, a railway prairie town of about 1910, and Heritage Town Square, added in 2009 and representing the 1920s to the 1950s. Many buildings were moved to the site; others are re-creations.

Costumed interpreters staff the working blacksmith shop, bakery, hotel, shops and restaurants, and horse-drawn wagons carry visitors through the settlement. The 1913 Little Synagogue on the Prairie and the First Nations Encampment represent southern Alberta's Indigenous peoples in the 19th century. Antique midway rides still operate, and the S.S. Moyie, a 1964 re-creation of a lake paddle steamer, circles the Glenmore Reservoir.

The park spreads over 127 acres on the banks of the Glenmore Reservoir, so plan on plenty of walking between the four zones, from the fur-trade fort to Heritage Town Square. A steam train and a streetcar from Calgary's old streetcar system carry passengers around the site and between the parking area and the main entrance. The historical village is open seasonally, from late May to Thanksgiving, while Heritage Town Square stays open year-round with free entry.

The park's two working steam locomotives pull passenger trains on a loop of track through the grounds. A railway roundhouse built in 1981 houses an operational turntable and car shop, where the engines are turned and serviced between runs.
