Fort Connah, Montana is in the Flathead or Mission Valley or Western Montana. The Post was started in 1846 by Neil McArthur and finished in 1847 by Angus McDonald for the Judson's Bay Company. It consisted of several small log buildings. After the northern boundary of the United States was established, the post was ordered closed by the government in 1871. McDonald came from Scotland and was first assigned to the Flathead Country as an apprentice clerk in 1839. He was given charge of Fort Connah in 1847.
The main building is still standing at the site. Besides being one of the original buildings, this log structure of upright logs at the corners, doors and windows, with horizontal, squared logs filling the spaces in between. This style of log architecture was common to many Hudson's Bay posts. This building has been maintained and restored as close to its original 1850 appearance as possible.
