Description
The Becker County Historical Society & Musuem Presents "Fur Trade in Minnesota," a New Traveling Exhibit Opening April 20th at 10am.
Hundreds of years ago, Minnesota played a key role in the fur trade, which stretched across five continents. Visitors to the exhibit can lift a 45-pound Voyaguer's pack, learn how the fur trade shaped Ojibwe art and discover how beaver pelts could be trasformed into sleek, stately hats that were all the rage among wealthy Europeans.
