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).

Carm Ellis, in Barns of the North Peace, writes the land reverted to the Crown to become entitled land. It changed hands several times and was bought by Jack (John) Henderson circa. 1938. “It is said that the log work was done by Harry (The Swede) Anderson in 1941 or 1942.” Ellis notes: “At the time, the Dunvegan Trail passed between Indian Reserve 151G and River Lot 5.” Photo by SUPPLIED
