David Thompson Room
(Handicap Accessible)
This dedicated room has log
furniture, a Queen and a Twin sized bed, with a handicap
accessible bathroom and roll-in shower.
Named after famous Canadian explorer and geographer
David
Thompson who was born in England in 1770. At the age
of 14 he traveled to Canada and apprenticed at the
Hudson Bay Company.
He
gained his fame while working for the North West Company
of Canada, who was primarily interested in the fur
trading business. David Thompson logged over 55,000
miles exploring and mapping the wilderness of Canada and
the United States. Compare that to Lewis and Clark who
traveled only 8,000 miles in their journey.
Lewis and Clark actually relied on maps by David
Thompson to navigate the Missouri River. The town of
Thompson Falls is named after David Thompson who
established a fur-trading house near there in 1809,
called the Saleesh House. Thompson Falls did not start
to be a real town until 1885. David Thompson died of old
age, broke and unknown in Canada in 1857.
Bed & Breakfast Rate: $125 - plus room tax
