Additional information

Spokane House Interpretive Center is located on a traditional village site of the Spokane Tribe of Indians. It was the location of a North West Company fur trading post known as “Spokane House” from 1810-1826—the first permanent Euro-American settlement in Washington State. Visitors can learn about this unique place through interior exhibits, an exterior mural, and a marked archaeological site adjacent to the facility.

Additionally, a short self-guided interpretive trail explains the history of food gathering and trade along the Spokane River. The trail also leads to the Peavine Jimmy Barn—one of the oldest structures in Spokane County—and beyond to the confluence with the Little Spokane River.
