Stop by this room and you'll be able to load up on sugar, coffee, wool blankets, and other necessities of frontier life.

Located just inside the gates of Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site in North Dakota and Montana, the Trade Room today is stocked with historic replicas of the actual goods sold to the Native Americans during the post's operation. You can find sugar, wool blankets, tin cups, plates, and coffee pots, capotes (for the well-dressed trapper), and even buffalo robes.
