Grand Portage National Monument - Birch Bark Canoe

A great place to visit and learn the history of the fur trade. Beavers in this case. Really enjoyed seeing the birch bark canoes that the trappers and traders used. The largest canoe they had was capable of carrying a 4 ton load. They used the 4 ton canoes to take the furs to Montreal, for shipment to Europe.
