The Cranbrook Archives, Museum, and Landmark Society (CAMAL) is getting ready to open the gates on a new era at Fort Steele Heritage Town.
Fort Steele will officially open for the season on Sunday, June 22, just in time for the end of the Spirit of the Rockies Festival.
The CAMAL team is still making some preparations for the season and is setting its soft opening date ahead of more activities being rolled out on July 5.
The park will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. from Thursday to Monday, but it may change as CAMAL adjusts its operations.
Officials say Fort Steele’s iconic #1077 locomotive is still down for repairs, but animals, interpreters and other activities will still be available in the meantime.
CAMAL is also offering a new way for locals to enjoy the region’s history.
“If you become a member of CAMAL, you get free general admission to the Cranbrook History Centre and access to Fort Steele Heritage Town,” said Jennyce Hoffman, Director of Marketing and Development.
“It’s only $50 for an adult, you can also have a youth add-on for $10 more, and you have access to come out here, a friends and family discount and gift shop discounts.”
You can find CAMAL memberships here.
