The old fur trade warehouse that is the Fur Trade at Lachine National Historic Site of Canada celebrated its 200 th anniversary last year. The warehouse was built in 1803. It is a witness to the era of the fur trade around Montreal, from now and then. This warehouse has survived the passage of time to tell us the stories of the fur trade companies, and of the adventurers that have sought shelter under its roof.
