Fort Livingstone, Archaeological site and former police headquarters in Pelly, Canada

Located on an upland peninsula above Snake Creek, Fort Livingstone extends across granite hills near the junction with Swan River.

The fort operated as the first capital of the North-West Territories from 1874 to 1876 before government operations moved to Battleford.

The archaeological remains reveal foundation footprints and telegraph passages that document the early development of Canadian law enforcement institutions.

The national historic site welcomes visitors daily from sunrise to 11 PM, with access through Highway 661 in Saskatchewan.

Red-sided garter snakes inhabit the surrounding barren landscape, making their home among the historical remnants of the fort.
