Fort Battleford National Historic Site Batoche National Historic Site Motherwell National Historic Site Fort Walsh National Historic Site

Did you know Saskatchewan is home to 4 National Historic Sites?

National historic sites are places of profound importance to Canada. Each site tells its own unique story and illustrates some of our countries defining moments in history. They each help to tell the greater story of Canada. 

  1. Batoche National Historic Site of Canada “Batoche displays the remains of the village of Batoche on the banks of the South Saskatchewan River. It was the last battlefield in the Northwest Rebellion of 1885. The site depicts the lifestyles of the Métis of Batoche between 1860 and 1900.”
  2. Fort Battleford National Historic Site of Canada “Fort Battleford showcases the role of the North West Mounted Police in the Canadian West. The fort was established in 1876 and abandoned in 1924. It offers five original buildings, four with period furniture. “
  3. Fort Walsh National Historic Site of Canada “This former North West Mounted Police/Royal Canadian Mounted Police post (circa 1878-83) was later used (1942-68) to breed horses for the force and the Musical Ride. Take a guided tour of the fort’s buildings, the Fort Walsh townsite, and two cemeteries.”
  4. Motherwell Homestead National Historic Site of Canada “Motherwell Homestead depicts the lifestyles, costumes, and architecture of the early 20th century. Here you can get a glimpse of the life and career of pioneer farmer and politician, W.R. Motherwell, and his significant influence on the development of scientific agriculture in Western Canada.“
