Grand Portage National Monument
Each year during the height of the fur trade,
trappers would haul great hides down the
now-historic Grand Portage to market their
merchandise. Today, this grand rendezvous
celebrates that great get-together with reenactments
of the trade, plus games, skills
and challenges. You’ll also enjoy music,
dancing, crafts and hands-on workshops,
all sponsored by the National Park Service
and Grand Portage Band of Chippewa.
