Grand Portage National Monument, located on the north shore of Lake Superior in northeastern Minnesota, preserves a vital center of fur trade activity and Anishinaabeg Ojibwe heritage. ⁣
⁣
A canoe warehouse is among the rebuilt buildings within the stockade at Grand Portage National Monument. While North West Company operated here, 16 buildings, most of them warehouses, were located on the site. The warehouse has four birchbark #canoes on display: a 36-foot Montreal (canot de maitre) and 24-foot North (canot du nord) both constructed by Bill Hafeman, an #Ojibwe long nose canoe built by Andy Rockwood and Wally Deschampe and a wild ricing canoe built in Grand Portage over 80 years ago. Visitors can also learn about 18th century craftsmanship and tools in the warehouse.⁣
