The tiny Fort Chipewyan Historical Society has beat out larger organizations to win a coveted tourism award this year.
The Tourism Industry Association of Alberta (TIALTA) awarded the small organization the 1993 Heritage Tourism Award.
The museum first opened in 1990. Its construction was started two years before, as part of the community's bicentennial celebrations. A full size reproduction of the Hudson's Bay Company 1870 stores building, it features both native and historic displays and a model of the late 1800s fort itself.
