About Us

As of April 1, 2025, Fort Steele Heritage Town is under new management by the Cranbrook Archives, Museum and Landmark Society (CAMAL), the non-profit organization that also operates the Cranbrook History Centre. We’re proud to steward this beloved site and are working hard to support a smooth and exciting transition.

Our team includes both on-site staff and CAMAL staff who support a wide range of areas - from agriculture and interpretation to marketing and administration.

Please see the staff directory below to find the best contact for your inquiry. If you're not sure who to reach out to, feel free to email us at info@fortsteele.org and we’ll be happy to help.
