The Fort Pelly-Livingstone Museum showcases the early history of the Northwest Territories and contains artifacts related to historical Fort Pelly and Fort Livingstone. The museum tour consists of three buildings: the Anglican Church which was established in 1910 and designated a Municipal Heritage Property in 1995; the former CN Train Station which will transport you back to the era of passenger trains; and the brick RCMP barracks which is a direct link to the history of Fort Livingstone. Tours are available upon request. Bus parking and a picnic area are available. The main level of the barracks is wheelchair accessible.
After your museum tour, be sure to visit the nearby historic sites of Fort Pelly and Fort Livingstone (marked by cairns). In early May, at Fort Livingstone, see thousands of garter snakes emerge from their hibernaculum. Mother's Day is usually the best viewing time, but peak times depend on the warming weather. The snakes emerge in larger numbers on warm sunny days as they love to suntan on the boulders by the pit.
