Last Mountain House Provincial Park 5.0 (reviews)

Last Mountain House Provincial Park house was constructed in 1869 by the Hudson's Bay Company for two reasons: competition was moving in, and the buffalo herds were moving southwest. Come see the reconstructed buildings and fur trade displays and learn more about the history in the area. 

The Last Mountain House was one of the last fur trading posts to operate in the area, and it was burned down in 1871. But today, the site includes the reconstricted trading post buildings, artifacts and exhibits.  The settlement buildings are connected by a raised walkway pathway and you can enjoy on a self-guided tour with lots of information sigs around to help you on your way. 

The interpretive panels around the site explain the history and lay out, including the locational of the Master's House, the Men's House the Ice Cellar, the Warehouse, a fur press and the privy. There's no access to get inside the park buildings, but you'll be able to admire them from the outside! It's estimated it'll take around 1 hour to get around the park and is a great pit stop for your travels too.
