Moose Factory, Trading post settlement on Moose Factory Island, Northeastern Ontario, Canada
Located near the mouth of the Moose River at James Bay, Moose Factory Island contains historical buildings and encompasses both First Nation reserve and provincial territories.
The Hudson's Bay Company established Moose Fort in 1673, making it the first English-speaking settlement in Ontario and the second Hudson's Bay Company post in North America.
The Cree Cultural Interpretive Centre presents exhibits of traditional tools, clothing, and local crafts, demonstrating the heritage of James Bay Cree people.
Visitors reach Moose Factory by water taxi from Moosonee during summer months and by ice road when the Moose River freezes during winter season.
The Hudson's Bay Company Staff House, constructed between 1847 and 1850, remains the only surviving officer's residence from the fur trading period in Canada.
