Fort Gibraltar

Fort Gibraltar was a historic trading post and military fort established in the early 19th century at the present-day site of Winnipeg, Manitoba. It served as a key hub for the fur trade, facilitating commerce between Indigenous peoples, traders, and explorers. The fort played an important role in regional development, serving as a strategic point for trade routes and territorial interests between Britain and the United States. Today, Fort Gibraltar is a reconstructed historical site and museum that offers insight into the area's history, culture, and the fur trade era through exhibits and interactive displays.
