Historic First Street SE Tour
June 22, June 29th, July 20, August 3, August 24, September 21st | 10 - 11 AM
Step into the past with our new immersive walking tour! Join us on select dates from June to September as we tour the city's history with the help of some of its most intriguing historical characters.
Walk the tree-lined boulevard of First Street SE, once known as the Esplanade, and discover the stories of Medicine Hat's earliest settlers. Marvel at the well-preserved architecture and delve into the lives of the people who once called this area home. Each tour is unique, with our guides sharing their own anecdotes and memories, offering you a true sense of the neighborhood's past.
Don't miss this chance to step back in time and experience Medicine Hat's history in a whole new way!
The Historic First Street SE Walking Tour starts OUTSIDE the Esplanade. Please note that the Esplanade does not open to the public until noon.
About your tour guide Sally (McGee) Sehn
Sally was born and raised in Medicine Hat. A frequent patron of the Esplanade Archives, she was a driving force behind this most recent rendition of historical First Street walking tours, created by the Heritage Resources Committee (now Heritage Resources Working Group).
Sally was born and raised in Medicine Hat. She is a past member of the Historic Resources Committee and an impassioned researcher turned tour guide. A purveyor of historical facts, stories, and forgotten details, she pulls from both her research and memories, to weave a walking experience that will keep the stories of our neighbourhoods alive and well.
