Fort Pitt founded in 1830, was the major HBC trading post between Forts Edmonton and Carlton, located at a large bend in the North Saskatchewan River just east of the modern Alberta-Saskatchewan border. It was beseiged by Indians during the Riel Rebellion of 1885.

We found a gentleman living nearby who had an extensive collection of artifacts from the site.

Would you like to see a Paul Kane painting done near Fort Pitt in 1846?
