The Fort Livingstone National Historic Site was designated a national historic site to commemorate the first capital of the Northwest Territories, 1876-1877; and the original headquarters and first post built specifically for the North West Mounted Police 1874-1876. The first session of the North West Territorial government was held in 1877.
In early May, visit the site to see thousands of garter snakes emerge from their hibernaculum. Mothers Day is usually the best viewing time but peak times depend on the warming weather. They emerge in larger numbers on warm sunny days as they love to suntan on the boulders by the pit.
