Snake River Fur Post

The Snake River Trading Post is a reconstructed fur trade post on the Snake River west of Pine City, Minnesota, United States. The post was established in the fall of 1804 by John Sayer, a partner in the North West Company, and built by his crew of voyageurs. The site operated for several years, although its exact period of operation is unknown. It was later destroyed by fire. The discovery of artifacts in the 1930s revealed the site. Excavation in the 1960s added to knowledge about it, enabling accurate reconstruction of the post. The site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is operated as a state historic site by the Minnesota Historical Society.
