Fort Battleford Forts as Saskatchewan National Historic Park
Fort Battleford in Battleford Saskatchewan preserves five standing buildings within a 10 foot stockade from the NWMP era. Built 1876 to guard the northwest, the fort saw dispatches for reinforcements after Duck Lake and faced attacks during Poundmaker his Metis uprising. Now a National Historic Park since 1951, it features the commanding officer's residence from 1877 and a kept mess hall used for teaching Plains Indians history to visiting children.
