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].

postcard
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.
