Grand Portage Rendezvous Days
Experience 1790s fur trade life at the Annual Grand Portage Rendezvous Days in August at the Grand Portage Monument Heritage Center in Grand Portage, Minnesota on the 2nd weekend of August. Explore the reconstructed 1790s fur trade depot and the historic voyageurs’ encampment. Try your hand at making cornhusk dolls and voyageur action figures, fire starting with flint and steel, and watch as the roughest men of the Old Northwest and the daintiest of ladies compete in a Voyageur pentathlon.
