Events Description
Follow your historical guide and explore a completely different side of Lower Fort Garry
The residents of Lower Fort Garry have been complaining to the Governor about unexplainable events around the fort. Tonight, all the residents are at a masquerade ball at Upper Fort Garry. Governor Colvile took advantage of this and has your guide and you to help investigate while the fort is deserted… Beware, you explore at your own risk!
Listen to stories that unveil the dark past; discover unexplained phenomena; visit locations where disturbing and significant events have taken place and may possibly still be haunted….
This will be a 90 minute walking tour where your personal guide will tell ghost stories throughout the site. These stories are those encountered by workers and residents over the years. Stories are unsettling and include tales of murder, drinking, and suicide. We do not recommend those under 10 years of age attend.
**Please note, this tour is run by Friends of Lower Fort Garry, a non-profit organization created to support Lower Fort Garry National Historic Site**
