Fort Edmonton Park

Went to Fort Edmonton Park, located in the city, an area featuring a fort, several streets, farmers' fields, etc. For $13.25 one can see what Edmonton looked like some 150 years ago (each street is called by the year it features, like 1885 St, and so on). Spent a couple of hours there, and tested the camera in action (nothing fancy, just getting used to it). [L]


The cars, trams, and the train are all working and carrying people around the park, so those are not just static exhibits. The train scene in the movie Assassination of Jessie James was shot right here and right on this train.

Real people in costumes (not plastic dummies) walk or sit around the park.


Several stores. This one is Ukrainian Bookstore, selling books and Matrioshka dolls.

The car "dealership". That's a Harley Davidson, by the way (click to enlarge).
