Heritage Park Historical Village is a living history museum in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, on 127 acres (51 ha) of parkland on the banks of the Glenmore Reservoir, in the city's southwestern quadrant. The Historical Village part of the park is open 7 days a week (10-5) from the Canadian May long weekend through to the September Labour Day long weekend, and then weekends from Labour Day through to Canadian Thanksgiving weekend in mid October. Gasoline Alley Museum and the Railway Café are open year-round. As one of Canada's largest living history museums, it is one of the city's most visited tourist attractions.^[1] Exhibits span western Canadian history from the 1860s to the 1950s. Many of the buildings are historical and were transported to the park to be placed on display. Others are re-creations of actual buildings. Most of the structures are furnished and decorated with genuine artifacts. Staff dress in historic costume, and antique automobiles and horse-drawn vehicles service the site. Calgary Transit provides regular shuttle service from Heritage C-Train station. The park opened on July 1, 1964.^[2]

Heritage Park has over 100 exhibits including

• A passenger train, drawn by one of the park's two working steam locomotives, that takes visitors around the park on a closed loop railway^[3]. Starting in 2023 the a car has been added to the train that allows for access to visitors with mobility issues (i.e. special stairs and ramps)^[4]. The loop includes 3 original (relocated) CPR stations where visitors can embark/disembark the train^[5][6][7]. A fourth station is used as a washroom.^[8]
• A Railway Roundhouse built in 1981 ^[9], and car shop^[10], which has an operational turntable^[11] and houses various railway equipment and restored passenger cars.
