The Spokane House Interpretive Center tells the story of Spokane House, an historic fur trade era trading post fort,
the earliest permanent non-Indian settlement in Washington State. It’s also
about the lives of the Spokane Indians who lived here and the first European
people to meet them and live among them. The Spokane House post was home to
several fur trappers and traders for many years, and it was a poignant symbol of
cultural commerce, cooperation, and the changes coming to the region.
