Enjoy a casual homestyle buffet dinner at the International Hotel, where the action begins, and before you know it you are fully involved in a straight-shooting, mystery-building, farce that finishes in a flourish during an evening excursion on Fort Steele’s own steam train! This all inclusive package is being offered on Wednesday nights July 24, August 7, and 21 only, so you don’t want to miss out!
The International Hotel houses Fort Steele’s main, family style restaurant. Dinner for this event will be casual cowboy fare, buffet style. The International Hotel is a reconstruction of the original International Hotel that was built on the same site during Fort Steele’s boom of 1897. Interior decorations represent similar hotel décor from the era. Enjoy good home style cooking with a heritage ambience.
Today, Fort Steele has revived the railway history of the region with its established steam train excursions. The railway bypassed Fort Steele in 1898 and went through Cranbrook signalling Fort Steele’s decline. By 1912, a CPR line was built in the area but it was too late to save the town. Fort Steele Heritage Town is pleased to offer train rides, with locomotive 1077, as part of its heritage experience. Rides are offered daily through July and August only.
Tickets for Wild West Wednesday are only $40 for adults, $20 for children six to 12, and five years and younger pay their age.
