We present to you a period of time from the late 1600's to the mid-1800's. These were the years when the North American fur trade grew. The people in Europe wanted beaver skins to make hats and other furs for clothing. European companies traded goods such as cloth, hatchets, kettles, beads, needles and guns for furs provided by Native Americans. You can visit our fur post for a day or for several days.
Interpreters are also available for visiting schools and participating in community events.
This web site will serve as a link between us and those who cannot visit the post and those who want to continue learning after their visit. You will find opportunities to communicate with us, with interpreters and with each other. Please stay in touch . We welcome your suggestions for improving the Learning Centre.
