Forts Folle Avoine Historical Park

The Historical Park is located near Danbury, Wisconsin on 80 beautiful wooded acres along the historic Yellow River.
The park is a living history site with two Fur Trade Posts; North West Company and the XY Company, reconstructed on the site known to be active from 1802 to 1805. An Ojibwe Village offers insight into the life of the Ojibwe Indian during the time of the Fur Trade. Several museums including a logging museum and a one-room schoolhouse offer insight into other aspects of Wisconsin and Burnett County History.
