Fort Selkirk, Historic trading post on Yukon River, Canada
Fort Selkirk stands at the meeting point of Yukon and Pelly Rivers, featuring over 40 preserved structures from different construction periods between 1892 and 1950.
The Hudson's Bay Company established the trading post in 1852, which Chilkat Tlingit warriors later attacked and looted, leading to its reconstruction forty years later.
The Northern Tutchone people maintained this location as their traditional gathering and trading site for thousands of years before European settlement began.
Visitors can reach Fort Selkirk only by boat or through the Fort Selkirk Aerodrome, as no roads connect to this remote historic site.
The Stone House and Big Jonathan House serve as interpretive centers, powered by river hydro and solar energy systems in this isolated location.
