People arrived at River Lot 19 for the ceremony via various means – sternwheeler D.A. Thomas, car, and perhaps, horse and buggy. Sir Alexander Mackenzie overwintered 1792-93 at the fort on his quest of the Pacific Ocean. Among those attending: (L-R) Hugh Allen; D.M. Kennedy; Kinwell (Joe) Neff (later owner of Fort Fork site land); Frank Smith and James Homer Johnston (discoverer, in 1927, of the fort site).
