Located in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, the Obadjiwan-Fort-Témiscamingue National Historic Site witnessed the presence of the Indigenous people about 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 a visit.

Notes from "Historic Places Days a chance to experience Indigenous culture"

History: Witness to First Nations presence for more than six millennia and theatre of the commercial rivalries between fur trade merchants for 200 years, this old fur trade post marks the beginning of the history in this vast region. Nowadays, the beautiful pebble beach and the enchanted forest will charm you during your stroll in this site that borders Lac Témiscamingue.

Visit: To fully understand the vital role played by the Obadjiwan–Fort Témiscamingue trading post, we must go back in time. Make the most of your visit to Obadjiwan–Fort Témiscamingue by visiting our permanent and temporary exhibitions and watching the film “The Voyageurs,” which tells the story of a unique contribution to the discovery of Canada.
