Churchill - York Factory National Historic Site

York Factory National Historic Site of Canada allows visitors to experience the history of the Hudson's Bay Company and the fur trade of the 1600-1800s. The site was established in 1832 as part of a series of trading posts - the oldest wooden structure is the 1832 depot and it is still standing. York Factory operated continuously at this location for 273 years, and closed in 1957. York Factory was the main distribution point for the Hudson's Bay Company for a wide range of goods including furs, food, lumber, and it also served as the main point of immigration to Western Canada.
