Wow That’s a mouthful but in simple terms, it’s a Fort. But a very interesting fort and a great way to spend a few hours on a sunny day. I took this from their website to explain what it’s all about.
“Located in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, the Obadjiwan–Fort-Témiscamingue national historic site witnessed the presence of Aboriginal people approximately 6,000 years ago and was the scene of commercial rivalries. This former fur trading post is at the heart of regional history and is well worth the detour.“
This fort is set right on the water and has many realistic displays, trails to walk and a Visitor Centre. The displays are called scenographie and there are 12 on the circuit through the area. It shows you where the trappers came to sell their furs and the traders and merchants who then shipped them to Europe.
Inside the Visitor Centre Different canoe sizes Walkway Their displays were pretty awesome Trails through the Enchanted Forest,named because of the strange shapes that strong winds have given to the trees Set on Lac Temiskaming Shop Keeper and Customer Voyageurs getting ready, pretty realistic
I do love Forts and history and enjoyed this place quite a lot. It’s well worth the visit if you are in the area.
See you soon…

This is so realistic, from the first picture you showed to the end. What a nice job they do with these displays. It puts our parks to shame!

I really liked the statue people or whatever they are called! It was really nice to walk around and you could almost picture it as it was so many years ago.

Yes, they were really life-like and the first one with the traders at the table gave you a good photo op with you in the background. It was a rough life I suppose, nothing like we can imagine with all our comforts today.
