Fort Garry, Trading post in Winnipeg, Canada
Fort Garry stands at the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine rivers, featuring limestone walls and the preserved north gate from 1853.
The Hudson's Bay Company established Fort Garry in 1822 as a central administrative post for their fur trade operations in Rupert's Land.
The fort witnessed the signing of Treaty 1 between the Crown and indigenous peoples, marking a turning point in Canadian-First Nations relations.
Visitors can explore Upper Fort Garry Provincial Park, which includes interpretive displays, walking paths, and educational programs about fur trade history.
The Heritage Wall at the park uses light and sound installations to tell stories of the fort through changing seasonal illumination patterns.
