In today's episode of Morning Coffee, Holland Coffee talks about what it takes to build a trading fort on the Western Frontier.

Morning Coffee is a video series taking place at a reconstruction of the Red River Trading Post. Holland Coffee was one of two owners of Coffee's Station, a fur trading company that traded out of the post. Every morning, Holland puts on a pot of coffee and talks about life at the trading post during the 1800s. Topics covered in conversation relate to the history of the area and the culture of both Frontier colonists and the local Native American tribes.

Morning Coffee is shot on location at the Museum of the Great Plains in Lawton, Oklahoma.
