A costumed interpreter plays his part at the South Gate of the Fort Walsh National Historic Site in Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park in Saskatchewan, Canada. Dressed in uniform from the days when this area was used by the North West Mounted Police, tourists to Fort Walsh can relive the years of 1875.

After the fort was established, it was an important location which was heavily armed until it closed in 1883 when the railroad was built. The North West Mounted Police were moved to the new location in Regina in 1942 and Fort Walsh was then used by the police for breeding horses.

Costumed interpreters are found throughout Fort Walsh where tourists can learn of some of Canada's history. Fort Walsh is open daily from Victoria Day through to Labour Day and is located approximately 55 kilometers southwest of Maple Creek in Saskatchewan, Canada.
