About this campground

Open year-round, the Grand Portage National Monument Heritage Center opened on August 10, 2007, with a commitment to honor the area's history, people, and culture. The Center houses exhibit galleries about Anishinaabe culture and the fur trade, a bookstore, and multi-media programs. Ask questions, plan your visit, stamp your passport, borrow snowshoes (in winter), and more at the front desk. The historic site is open late May through mid-October.
