Sounds along the byway...fur traders bringing their goods.
Frontier Military Scenic Byway
In 1825, Cyprian Chouteau, of the Chouteau family that founded St. Louis, Missouri, came to this area to open a trading post. The Choteau family members were extensive fur traders in the Missouri River Valley and present-day eastern Kansas and Oklahoma. Fur, whiskey and pro- and anti-slavery barbs were traded. The town of Trading Post remains today.
