Kootanae House

Kootanae House, also spelled Kootenae House, was a North West Company fur trading post built by Jaco Finlay under the direction of David Thompson near present-day Invermere, British Columbia in 1807. The trading post was established near the junction of Toby Creek and the Columbia River. In 1808 Thompson reckoned its location as 50°32′12″N 115°56′15″W. The actual location is Kootenae House National Historic Site, located at 50.526624°N 116.045440°W. The trading post was abandoned in 1812 due to hostilities from the Peigans east of Howse Pass.
