The authenticity of goods sold, however, remained the same. When the Virens went to sell the Trading Post itself, the focus shifted to silent sports. In addition to being an authentic artifact trading post, the store sold outboard motors, fishing supplies, boats and things of that nature. Not much has changed.īack in 1971, when brothers John and Ed Viren opened the Trading Post, they piloted their small plane into Canada to buy goods from native peoples who knew what outdoor adventure was all about. Our original suppliers could only be reached by float plane.
