For quick bites, beverages, and even old-fashioned candy floss, stop at one of the Park’s authentic concessions. In many cases, the actual building has been moved from its past place of food and drink service to inside Heritage Park.
Alberta Bakery
Originally built in 1912 in Standard, Alberta Bakery catered to bachelors and the North-West Mounted Police, as most women did their baking at home.

Claresholm General Store (Heritage Park's old-fashioned candy store)
S.A. Mostad was part of a group of Norwegian immigrants from drought-stricken Devil's Lake, North Dakota, who built his general store in Claresholm, circa 1905. He proudly watched it become the hub of social and economic life in the small prairie town.
Today, a visit to Heritage Park's old-fashioned candy store is a tradition loved by guests of all ages.

Drew's Saloon and Stopping House
In 1886, ex-U.S. army officer Henry “Boston” Drew built a saloon on his property in Spitzee Crossing, now High River. He later added four second-storey bedrooms, turning his establishment into a proper resting place for weary travelers on their way to Calgary or Fort Macleod.
For the present-day visitor, Drew’s Saloon provides a welcome resting area, serving cold drinks and snacks.
