Railway at Heritage Park

Heritage Park Historical Village is a theme park located in Calgary, Alberta. The park is located on 66 acres (267,000 m²) of parkland on the banks of Glenmore Reservoir along the city's southwestern edge. It is one of the city's most visited tourist attractions. It is also the largest historical park in Canada. The park is branded as a living museum since it features a village that was recreated to appear as it might have in late 19th and early 20th century Alberta. Many of the historical buildings are real and were transported to the park to be placed on display. Others are re-creations of actual buildings. Most of the structures are furnished and decorated with genuine artifacts. Even the park's staff costumes and maintenance vehicles are true to the time. The entire park is large and is divided into several areas such as a town, a farm area, a railway hub, and an antique midway. Calgary Transit provides regular shuttle service from Heritage C-Train station.
