A photograph of Fort Pelly trading post in 1887. Two non-Aboriginal couples are posing for photo, standing on top of the new plank fence palisade.
Historical note:
Fort Pelly was located at the Indian Elbow of the Assiniboine River located eight miles south-west of the site of the present village of Pelly. Fort Pelly was built in 1824 by the Hudson's Bay Company. The high palisade fence that surrounded the Fort in 1872 has been replaced by a plank fence in this photo.Author/Creator
