Grand Portage National Monument, located in northeastern Minnesota along the shores of Lake Superior, is a site of significant historical and cultural importance. It commemorates the vital role of the Grand Portage trail, an 8.5-mile portage used by Native American communities, fur traders, and voyageurs as a critical link in the extensive fur trade network of the 18th and early 19th centuries. The monument includes a reconstructed stockade, Great Hall, and kitchen, which offer visitors a glimpse into the daily lives of the people who lived and worked there. Additionally, the site honors the Anishinaabe people, whose land and culture are intricately woven into the history of the region.
