North West Company Fur Post
The North West Company Fur Post is an authentically reconstructed post from the winter of 1804-05. Costumed guides help interpret the site and take visitors back to the days when furs were traded here under the British flag. An expanded visitor center, featuring new exhibits, a Great Room, fireplace and retail space, opened in 2003.
