NPS Postcard: GREAT HALL. The
Great Hall, measuring 30 x 95 feet, was the largest building at the
post. It was used as a dining hall, meeting place, and for dances and
other recreation. A reconstruction, it now contains a small museum and
gift shop. [Note: This was the first reconstruction of
1938-1940].

|
NPS Postcard: NORTH WEST COMPANY
STOCKADE. Built in the 1770's on the shore of Lake Superior, this
fur trading post and supply depot was an important link in the Company's
business operations, which stretched 3,000 miles from Montreal to Lake
Athabaska. [Note: This was the first reconstruction of
1938-1940].
|
|
|
NPS Postcard: ANCIENT ROCK. Over
a billion years ago, this rock was once mud on the bottom of an inland
sea. Later transformed into Rove slate by heat and pressure, this
rock—some of the oldest known—was finally exposed by uplift,
erosion, and glacial scouring.
