This week’s
featured artifact came from the Goulet family who found it on their land in the
Three Creeks area, near the old Cadotte Trail. It is a Scotch Whiskey Bottle
from the Hudson’s Bay Company. There are records of scotch being shipped to
North America as early as 1701, which is 92 years before Sir Alexander
Mackenzie or any other European men made their way through Peace River. The age
of this bottle is unknown.
