Familiar Havre names associated with the Fort include Simon Pepin, who had been wagon master for Colonel Broadwater's Diamond R freighting outfit, and Louie Shambo who acted as scout and dispatch carrier. The Herron family established a dairy just east of the post and William Thackeray delivered mail. L.K. Devlin had the contract for supplying the post with meat. C.A. Broadwater and Co. had the post store. The site of Fort Assinniboine is now the home of Northern Agricultural Research Center.
Group tours are also available.
