Today we visited Fort Edmonton with my friends: Abby, Lola, Dayo, Jamin, Kailey, and Matthew. We learned about the history of Edmonton from when people first moved here until they began building a city.
Our first stop was to the Fort that the settlers first established in the 1800's.
After touring the fort we went to 1885 STREET. This is where it showed how people lived in 1885. They had their own houses, but still didn't have power.
Then the last section of our tour was the 1905 STREET. In 1905, they had power and even had a type of train that runs with power. They had more businesses in bigger buildings. This is when Edmonton started to become a city.
We even watched a movie about Edmonton in the old theater.
And we danced like they did in the 1920s
Our visit to Fort Edmonton was a lot of fun.
Here is a video about some of the other things we learned:
