Open House for Calgary Historic Week - August 7 at noon to 4:00-  At 2:00 Join us on a tour of the site, as we explore the theme of transportation. For more than 10,000 years, as the glaciers from the last ice age receded, the Bow River corridor was used as a passage way through the mountains. View the stone circles from these early inhabitants and learn how this historic route was used by Indigenous people for thousands of years for travel and trade. This tour will also talk about the Old Morley Trail/ McDougall Trail that brought early European settlers from Fort Edmonton to the once thriving settlement of Morleyville. The historic wagon ruts  from this trail are still visible on the site. Learn about the people of Morleyville, what brought them here, and how the settlement was impacted by the building of the railway.
