Today we were back in Calgary, and spent the day at Heritage Park - a fully functioning heritage village.

All employees of Heritage Park are dressed in olden day clothing, and were in most of the exhibits and along the streets. Many of them have worked in the park for 7-15 years!! The park is only opened to the public for about 8 months of the year, and is a very popular tourist attraction.

We saw over 80 houses, barns and displays throughout the park. I think all of the pictures tell 1000 words......
