Before setting out, La Salle sold most of his land back to the Sulpicians and the rest to Montréal merchants. Jean Milot bought a 420-acre tract known as Fort Lachine or Fort Rémy (now Saints-Anges archaeological site, LaSalle Borough). The brother-in-law business partners Charles Le Moyne and Jacques Le Ber bought 120 acres for use as a trading post. The stone building (now Musée de Lachine) they erected there is one of the oldest such structures still standing on Montréal Island.
