Fort St James National Historic Park

Search Visit British Columbia

Here is the site of an authentic 1896 Hudson's Bay Company Trading Post. The Fort played an important role in North America's fur trade industry because of its strategic location. The site features original and restored buildings that house replicas and historical artifacts including trade goods, furs and furnishings of the late 1800's.

The park opens in mid-May. From then until late June, and in September, staff offer guided tours. In July and August, the site offers a living history program where you can experience life as it was in an 1896 fur trading post. The visitor centre features an exhibit hall and theatre.
