June 25 Sunday 72’am beautiful and sunny. Today we drive 20 miles north to Selkirk on the Red River, to see Lower Fort Garry .This is a national historic site. (1830) We are greeted by costumed interpreters. They said most of the fort is in it’s original state (original wood supplies etc. A large stone wall surrounds the establishment. The Big house, the oldest building on site was the HBC posts dwelling for officers. we view the fur-loft, the blacksmith shop, the mens house and the warehouse. We see the doctor’s house, one of the last of the Red River frame building left in Canada. We have a picnic lunch, then move on to the maritime museum where 7 historic ships are restored and are there to view. Beautiful and sunny 83’
