The log cabin adjacent to the teepee is a replica of a Northwest Fur Trading Post built by fur trader Angus Shaw in 1789 at Moose Lake. Shaw moved from Moose Lake in 1772, mapping yet another trade route, this time down toward Elk Point. Shaw's post at Moose Lake continued to operate as an emergency supply shelter to succeeding fur traders. To the natives it was know as, "The Place of Many Cellars" since they used the fort as a spring gathering place for many years following Shaw's departure.
