The Navarre-Anderson Trading Post is a former trading post complex located at 3775 North Custer Road in Frenchtown Charter Township along the River Raisin in Monroe County, Michigan.[2][4] It was listed as a Michigan Historic Site on June 16, 1972[3] and also listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 31, 1972.[1]
The main building on the complex dates back to 1789, making it the oldest surviving wooden residential building in the state.[2][5] The complex was established by the early French settlers Francois Navarre and John Anderson, who were among the first to settle the area of present-day Monroe.[3] In addition to the main building, which also served as a house, the cookhouse building was built in 1810. The original barn is no longer standing, but a 1790s replica was built on the complex.[2]
The complex was originally located several miles downstream in the present-day Old Village Historic District. When advancing development threatened this historical complex, it was moved in 1894 and again in 1971. The complex was restored back to its appearance from what it looked like 1799. Today, the complex is owned by the Monroe County Historical Museum and is open to the public for special events and group tours.[2][5]

<ref>tag; name "MCGI" defined multiple times with different content - ↑ The Navarre-Anderson Trading Post is just outside the city limits of Monroe. It is commonly mentioned as being in Monroe because of its mailing address and since Monroe is its closest city. In actuality, the trading post is in the very far western corner of Frenchtown Charter Township just west of Custer Airport (as seen on the bottom corner of the map linked below) and therefore falls under their jurisdiction. The complex was originally in Monroe before being moved to this location in 1972.
