Jasper House, Trading post and national historic site in Jasper National Park, Canada.

Jasper House sits along the Athabasca River within a forest clearing, featuring remains of three buildings from the original trading establishment point.

The Hudson's Bay Company operated this strategic trading post from 1830 to 1857, serving as a crucial stop for travelers crossing the Rocky Mountains.

The location served as a meeting place where European traders, Indigenous peoples, voyageurs, and missionaries exchanged goods and knowledge during the fur trade period.

The site maintains interpretive trails and viewing points accessible from Highway 16, approximately 35 kilometers east of the town of Jasper.

Archaeological evidence reveals building foundations, a cemetery, and historic paths that showcase the daily operations of this 19th-century mountain trade outpost.

Location: Improvement District No. 12 (Jasper National Park)
