Fort la Reine Museum
constructed in 1738, Fort La Reine was one of the original forts that were directed to be built by Pierre Gaultier de Varennes et de La Verendrye, the first military commander of the west that has become known as Canada. The fort is situated on the Assinibonie River by Portage La Prairie, Manitoba, Canada and would eventually become the first fur trading post in the region, becoming the base of operations for most of the exploration that would occur north and west. Currently, the museum is named after that fort, with a copy of the original situated on the museum grounds along with many other historical structures that span that early period to the present day. The youngest La Verendrye son would launch his expeditions to the west and construct other forts along the way that included Fort Bourbon, Fort de la Corne, Fort Dauphin and Fort Paskoya. This fort would be the starting point for a magnificent expedition that took the explorers down the upper Missouri River to the Yellowstone River in 1743.
