How unlikely is this. The museum of the Fur Trade is located, not in Canada, not in northern Minnesota, not in the Pacific Northwest, but in Chadron, Nebraska. Who knew?
Actually it is quite large and quite impressive. The gun collection is huge ! There are stories and information on this old industry from all areas of North America. We have worked at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site, which was a trading post and distribution center for the Hudson Bay Company and we still learned a great deal by visiting this place.
Notice the Canoe Cups. Each Voyager carried on his sash. When he got thirsty he could just dip water from the lake or stream he was paddling through. We had never seen these before.
