The fox-in-circle. The museum's tradmark (above), originally served as an inspector's mark on guns made for the Indian trade. Today it symbolizes the museum's desire to provide quality service to our patrons.
To preserve the history of the fur trade—the first business in North America.
The Museum of the Fur Trade Quarterly is published for our members. Dues are $28 for two years and $40 for three years.
We also publish books and reproduce objects from the collections.
Our newest book is the first volume of the Encyclopedia of Trade Goods; Clothing & Textiles of the Fur Trade. It is the second volume in the series.
Other books include, When Skins Were Money, Little Chief's Gatherings, The Original Journal of Charles Larpenteur, and Metal Weapons, Tools, and Ornaments of the Dakota Sioux.
And, we have reproduced museum objects such as the William Clark 1810 fabric, an 18th century mirror box, firesteels, 17th century Dutch knife handle, and earbobs.
