Driving Directions

Nanton sits astride Provincial Highway 2, between Calgary and Fort Macleod. The highway divides into northbound and southbound sections as it traverses the town. The MacEwan Schoolhouse is on the eastern side of the northbound lanes, so southbound drivers should turn left at Main Street and take the first convenient parking slot.
