fur-trading hub, along with recreated
historical streets from 1885 (the settlement
era), 1905 (the municipal era) and 1920
(the metropolitan era), each complete with
authentic buildings and hundreds of intriguing
artefacts. Costumed interpreters stage live
demonstrations throughout and are on hand
to provide an in-depth perspective into the
