Fort William Historical Park
Fort William Historical Park features Fort William, one of North America’s largest living history sites, and the David Thompson Astronomical Observatory, home to one of the largest publicly accessible telescopes in Central Canada. Fort William Historical Park also offers year-round festivals and events, an RV and tent campground, in-person, virtual and overnight education programs, and wedding and conference facilities. Bringing Life to History FWHP features Fort William, one of North America’s largest living history sites, which brings to life the 19th century fur trade. Fort William was the North West Company’s key inland headquarters (1803–1821), serving as a major centre of commerce during the North American fur trade. It was also the location of the annual Rendezvous, which provided an opportunity for people from Indigenous, French-Canadian, and Anglo-Scottish communities to come together to trade goods, share knowledge, exchange ideas and build relationships. The living history site includes an Anishinaabe encampment, heritage trades complex, working farm, and 50 authentically reconstructed buildings and structures. Contact us today for more information!
