Stanley visits historic Fort Edmonton Park



This is the Al-Rashid Mosque which has been moved to Fort Edmonton. It was the first mosque built with the purpose of being a mosque in Canada. Historically, many Muslims moved to Edmonton because they heard there was a mosque here. Several historic churches are also in Fort Edmonton.   

Fort Edmonton is not open to the general public in the winter. Stanley wants to return in the summer to learn about the fur trade and visit the old fort.

The Capitol Theatre was finished last year on "1920 Street". They put on plays and dinner theatre here.  Alberta Host attended a play here and it was really fun.  The food was great too.

This is the rebuilt Selkirk Hotel.  People can actually rent rooms here and have dinner.  Stanley recommends the chocolate cake.

Stanley was lucky that Alberta Host's older daughter works at Fort Edmonton Park.  She took Stanley to work with her to see the park.  She wore her parka too.
