Tips from locals
Also known as Northwest Company Post. This will be an amazing educational experience. A local farmer was plowing his field when he noticed wood posts under the soil in the shape of a building. This was the location of the Northwest Company Fur Post from many years ago. The fur traders would canoe up and down the river to the fur post to trade their furs. Today people are dressed up in character and live on site all summer long. I highly recommend experiencing this during your stay. Check prices and hours first. (8.1 miles)
