In the
1700s, Grand Portage became the gateway into rich northern fur bearing
country. It connected remote interior outposts to lucrative
international markets.
Grand
Portage National Monument is nearly 710 acres in size and lies within the
boundaries of Grand Portage Ojibwe Indian Reservation. The
reconstructed depot celebrates the fur trade and the Ojibwe lifestyle.
From
Memorial weekend through the Columbus Holiday, Grand Portage National
Monument is open daily 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. The Grand Portage, Mount
Rose Trail and trails outside the stockade are open year round from dawn
until dusk. |
