The Museum of the Fur Trade is the most expansive museum of its kind in the world. It tells the story of how people used to trade the furs from animals they hunted for other goods, and the impact that this economic system had on early European and American settlers as well as on the Native American population of the region. The Museum of the Fur Trade contains thousands of historic items and artifacts that people commonly traded for. There’s a huge collection of textiles and cloth, a display of firearms and weapons, a selection of ornaments, crafts, and art supplies, antique tools, and containers from many of the food and provisions that were traded.
