This historical site depicts a gruesome and tragic event of Alberta’s history, located on the hills of east-central Alberta border. Namely, a violent backlash occured at Frog Lake in the mid-1880s when the government tried to place First Nations on reserves. Many lives were lost during these terrible times, leaving behind archeological remains and a cemetery. It was deemed a Provincial Historic Resource in 1976.

Other features of the historic site includes a commemorative cairn installed in 1924, remnants of old wagon trails, along with a trail with panels to educate guests on the historical context of the area. Learn about the terrible conflict here and expand your knowledge of those who came before us.
