About Historic Fort Normandeau
Throughout the summer, history is brought to life with authentic, entertaining, and informative live programs. All three of Red Deer’s founding cultures are celebrated. Visitors can learn to make bannock or home-made ice cream. They might dance to First Nations or Metis music, toss the caber and eat haggis, or participate in an old-fashioned garden harvest.
