It is 1797, the Rendezvous is in full swing, and over a thousand people work and linger within the palisades and surrounding area. North West Company agents, clerks, and partners gather to conduct business and celebrate their good fortune. They arrived by canoe with the voyageurs bringing trade goods from the east and furs from the north. Native American families gather by the shore to trade and reunite with friends and family. It all happened right here in Grand Portage. Today, during Rendezvous Days, costumed interpreters portray late 18th century life in the fur trade era.
