Description:
This tour is a self guided tour of the historic grounds. We offer tours through the largest group of original wooden buildings representing the fur trade in Canada. Your tour will start with a nine minute introductory film and a look through the display room. Then walk along Stuart Lake and step back into 1896. In each of our historic buildings there is a costumed interpreter that will guide you through life at Fort St. James from 1806-1952. This tour is easily adaptable to fit your time schedule. Our buildings include:

• Fur Warehouse
• Fish Cache (no interpreter)
• Men’s House
• Trade Store
• Officer’s Dwelling House
• Hide Tanning Shed
