Can’t visit us in person? Connect with the Snake River Fur Post from the comfort of your own home!
The land on which the Snake River Fur Post was constructed in 1804 was, and still is, Ojibwe homeland. The Ojibwe called the river Ginebig-ziibi. When the North West Company built a post there in 1804, they expanded a global trading system between the Upper Mississippi region and Europe.
