About Grand Portage
Grand Portage National Monument preserves a vital fur trade site where voyageurs and Native Americans transported goods around the unnavigable falls and rapids of the Pigeon River. The monument features a reconstructed stockade and Great Hall representing the North West Company's inland headquarters. The site demonstrates the important role of the Ojibwe people and French-Canadian voyageurs in the fur trade era. The monument is managed by the National Park Service.
