Western Fur Trade

Cisco’s Gallery offers a collection of Western fur trade antiques and artifacts associated with trappers, traders, voyageurs, mountain men and trading posts of the late 18th and 19th centuries. The collection includes hand-forged traps, long guns, powder horns, fire-starting tools and other equipment used in trapping and frontier travel, along with trade silver, Assomption sashes and material associated with the Hudson’s Bay Company and fur trade rendezvous. Together, these objects reflect the commercial networks, cultural exchange and material life that shaped the North American fur trade.
