Project Overview

In 2010, the Minnesota Historical Society researched the development of an Online Fur Trade Interactive Learning Experience as a supplement to the Northern Lights history textbook.

This web-based application, geared toward middle school students, will not only offer a glimpse of Minnesota's history, but also provides a lesson about the foundation of today's complex global economy.

With additional funding, the Society will build and launch this program in 2011, eventually rolling it out nationwide to create exposure for Minnesota's North West Company Fur Post in Pine City.
