The Fur Trade at Lachine National Historic Site
The Fur Trade at Lachine National Historic Site, Stone warehouse and fur trade museum in Lachine, Canada
A rectangular stone warehouse stands at the western end of the Lachine Canal, featuring restored fieldstone walls and traditional architectural elements from 1803.
The Northwest Company constructed this storage facility in 1803 to manage fur pelts before their transportation through the Saint Lawrence River trading routes.
The warehouse exhibits demonstrate the relationships between European traders, voyageurs, and Indigenous peoples who participated in the North American fur commerce.
The site welcomes school groups from September to November and April to June, offering educational programs about Canadian fur trade history.
Located near the Lachine Rapids, this building served as a transfer point where furs moved from canoes to ships for international distribution.
