Fort Walsh, a National Historic Site of Canada, was a North-West Mounted Police (NWMP) fort and the location of the Cypress Hills Massacre. Managed by Parks Canada, it is part of Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park.Constructed in June 1875 and named after its builder, Inspector James Morrow Walsh, the fort was established to address the illegal whisky trade, secure Canada's border with the United States, and support native policy. These issues were highlighted after the Cypress Hills Massacre of 1873, leading to the creation of the NWMP under Prime Minister John A. Macdonald.Assiniboine chiefs Man Who Takes the Coat, Long Lodge, and Lean Man signed Treaty 4 at the fort on September 25, 1877.Fort Walsh served as the NWMP headquarters from 1878 to 1882 but was closed and dismantled in 1883. It was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1924 and was later reconstructed in the 1940s to breed horses for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Musical Ride.Visitors can explore the fort's buildings, the former townsite, cemeteries, and the whisky trading post. On September 28, 2004, Fort Walsh was included in the Cypress Hills dark-sky preserve.On June 28, 1985, Canada Post issued a stamp titled 'Fort Walsh, Sask., circa 1880,' as part of the 'Forts Across Canada' series.
