EDU Lab: Fur Trade

The Semi-Quincentennial marks the beginning of our nation. Our crew is looking at the mouth of the Columbia’s own beginnings – with Indigenous peoples before Oregon and Washington became states and the founding of Astoria. Join the education crew with a tactile exploration of the Fur Trade. Learn about Indigenous trade networks, impacts on the animal populations, and why the fur trade is strongly linked to Astoria’s roots. Included in museum admission.
