Simon Fraser built a trading post for the North West Company at this location in 1806. It was the major trading post in the area for years and stayed active until 1952. Most of the sturdy log buildings that exist now were built in the late 1800s. The furnishings and the interpreter’s outfits reflect that time period.
The site is fairly accessible. The exhibits and movie in the museum are easily viewed. The pathway to the fort area is covered with medium sized gravel – a little hard rolling. Wide boardwalks connect the buildings. Some of the buildings have slightly high thresholds between the rooms. The fish cache has along flight of steps. Go the opposite direction of the arrows on the park leaflet to avoid the steps down to the trail along the water
The parking area is large enough for all RVs. Fort
