Fort Gibraltar, Historical trading post in Whittier Park, Winnipeg, Canada.
The reconstructed Fort Gibraltar features wooden palisade walls, traditional buildings, and a blacksmith shop representing early 19th century architecture and design.
Founded in 1809 by the North West Company, the fort served as a central trading post during intense competition with Hudson's Bay Company for fur trade dominance.
The fort presents daily demonstrations of traditional activities including metalworking, food preparation, and trading practices from the early 1800s fur trade period.
Guided tours of Fort Gibraltar operate throughout summer months, with interpreters in period costumes explaining different aspects of frontier life.
The fort hosts the Festival du Voyageur each winter, transforming into the center of Western Canada's largest winter celebration.
