North West Company Fur Post - A Trip to the early 1800's on Snake RiverJust a few miles outside of Pine City, Minnesota sits an historic site found by chance. The 1804 fur post of the North West Company.
We learned about the Ojibwe and how the women of the tribe were essential and valorized members of their community, and how in marriage the couple would take on complementary roles.
While here you'll be taken through a tribes camp on your way to the fur post. Then at the post, you'll learn about each room and the roles of the company employee's, the way they lived and played.

Learn more about this excellent site on the National Historical Register via the Minnesota Historical Society's website HERE. Be sure to check out some of their signature events to enhance your visit even more. Kathy and I want to thank everyone at the Historical Society and Museum for a wonderful experience! Here are some of the views that caught our eye while there.
