Event details

Step back in time and join Angelique as she shares what it was like to live and work at Forts Folle Avione in 1802-1805, when the North West Company and XY Company operated posts just 95 feet apart along the Yellow River in an area known as “le pays du folle avoine” (land of wild oats/wild rice). Traders exchanged goods with the Ojibwe, primarily for beaver pelts highly valued in Europe. Each spring, furs were transported to Grand Portage on Lake Superior, then to Montreal and Europe. You will be educated and entertained as the period-dressed interpreter speaks about the life and culture of these early occupants.
