Built in 1874, it was the first post built for the newly-formed North-West Mounted Police and it served as its headquarters until 1876.
From November 1876 to February 1878 it also served as the temporary seat of government of the North-West Territories while the new government buildings in Battleford were being constructed.
Although part of the property is actively used for grazing, its isolated setting and natural environment preserves a landscape that is relatively unchanged since the 1870s.
