Historic First Street SW Tour
July 13, August 10, September 7 & 28 | 10 - 11 AM
Can’t get enough of our Historic First Street? There’s more to discover!
Steps from where the Southeast tour leaves off, you will journey into a very different piece of Medicine Hat history. Once considered outside our city limits, First Street SW was homestead land. Venture “off the grid”, beyond Medicine Hat’s historic boundaries to follow our story to its very edge without ever leaving the tree lined boulevard of First Street. Each tour is subtly different as our guides delight in sharing their own stories and memories of this neighborhood, imparting a true sense of place to those eager to listen.
The Historic First Street SW Walking Tour starts at 78 First Street SW.
