Bordeaux Trading Post, Trading post historical site near Chadron, Nebraska, United States
The Bordeaux Trading Post, reconstructed in 1956 on original foundation stones, features walls made from hand-hewn native timber matching historical specifications.
James Bordeaux established this trading post in 1846 as part of a network to enhance buffalo robe commerce through satellite locations across the region.
Native American tribes exchanged buffalo robes, furs, and ponies for essential goods including guns, powder, beads, and blankets at this trading location.
The trading post stands as part of the Museum of the Fur Trade, offering visitors insights into 19th-century commerce between settlers and indigenous peoples.
Excavations uncovered original hearthstones and threshold stones, while eyewitness accounts from the 1880s guided the precise reconstruction of interior layouts.
