Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site is a significant historical landmark located on the North Dakota-Montana border. It was established in 1828 by the American Fur Company and served as a major fur trading post for nearly four decades. The site was a bustling center of commerce where trappers, traders, and Native American tribes, including the Assiniboine, Crow, Cree, Ojibwe, Blackfeet, Hidatsa, and Sioux, came together to trade buffalo robes and other goods. Today, visitors can explore the reconstructed fort, learn about the vibrant history of fur trading, and experience living history programs that bring the past to life.
