Nestled in the coulees of Indian Battle Park, near the Oldman River, lies Fort
              Whoop Up — the famous frontier trading post.

              It all started in 1869, when American fur traders brought a wagon train of whiskey
              and other trade goods north. They established a stockade, later known as Fort
              Whoop Up, and made a ton of profit before the Mounties showed up to rein in the
              whiskey business.

             Today, the fort still trades with the aboriginal Blackfoot tribes of Southern Alberta,
              supplying many ceremonial goods, hides, sweetgrass, and other items.

              Step in to life in a frontier outpost on the great plains, and see if you think
              “today is a good day to trade.”
