Musée de Pelly

The Fort Pelly-Livingstone Museum showcases the early history of the Northwest Territories and contains artifacts related to historic Fort Pelly and Fort Livingstone. The museum tour includes three buildings: the Anglican Church which was established in 1910 and designated a municipal heritage property in 1995; the former Canadian National Railway Station will transport you back to the days of passenger trains; and the brick RCMP Barracks which is a direct link to the history of Fort Livingstone. Tours are available upon request. Bus parking and a picnic area are available. The main level of the barracks is wheelchair accessible. The Fort Pelly-Livingstone Museum, which was located in the former high school building, burned down in June 2015 and the museum was subsequently moved to the former RCMP Barracks at 401 3rd Avenue South. The museum is named after the Hudson's Bay Company's historic Fort Pelly and Fort Livingstone, the location of the first headquarters of the Northwest Territories and the North-West Mounted Police. Both historic forts are less than 8 km from the present-day village of Pelly. The museum consists of three buildings - the RCMP Barracks, the Anglican Church and the Train Station. The museum displays a range of artifacts from the early days of the village of Fort Pelly and Fort Livingstone.
