Batoche displays the remains of the village of Batoche on the banks of
the South Saskatchewan River. It was the last battlefield in the Northwest Rebellion of 1885.
Louis Riel selected Batoche as the headquarters of his "Provisional Government of Saskatchewan".
Several buildings have been restored within the site. The site depicts the lifestyles of the Métis
of Batoche between 1860 and 1900 - the trails they walked, their homes, their church, and the
Battle of Batoche, May 9-12, 1885. Visitors can also see an award-winning half-hour multi-media
show in the Visitor Reception Centre.
