Fort Connah, the Hudson’s Bay Company post situated six miles north of St. Ignatius, is presently in the early stages of development as a historic reconstruction of the Rocky Mountain Fur Trade Period. Under the direction of the Fort Connah Restoration Society, established in 1975, the site is to be restored and refurbished to the period of the mid-1850’s.

In addition to restoration and reconstruction, plans call for erection of a public Interpretation Center and provisions for public parking. The usual visitor services, including guides, will be provided.The scale of the development is large and is the result of much work on the part of Mission Valley residents. It all started when a few persons became interested because of their concern that this historic site might soon disappear into oblivion. It is now apparent that the project will continue to grow and provide an authentic reconstruction of a period important to the Rocky Mountain Region.
