Grand Portage National Monument

Grand Portage National Monument is grand fun to explore! We drove over from Voyagers National Park on the Trans-Canada Highway and I finally got to visit Quebec, Canada! It was a beautiful drive and once we crossed the border, Grand Portage was minutes away. And it was my first sight of Lake Superior … which I always wanted to visit as I grew up on Superior Street!

Grand Portage National Monument invites visitors to “Travel into the past to discover the present. Explore the partnership between the Grand Portage Anishinaabe and the North West Company during the North American fur trade. Experience the sights and smells of a bustling depot reconstructed in its historic location. See how it shaped co-management with the NPS today. Follow pathways to the past to imagine a drum echo over Gichigami - Lake Superior.”
