Fort William Historical Park

Why You'll Love It

Fort William Historical Park features Fort William, one of the largest living history sites in North America, and the David Thompson Astronomical Observatory, home to one of Central Canada’s largest telescopes. The Park includes a seasonal RV and tent campground and presents a variety of special events year-round.

The Fort William Historic Site brings to life the excitement and drama of the 19th century fur trade at the majestic inland headquarters of the North West Company. The historic site also serves as a gateway to learn about the traditional lifestyle, culture, and heritage of the local Indigenous People, the Anishinaabe.
