Check out this historical trading post and First Nation museum.
Decades ago, this building stood to enable trading between the native tribes and others passing through. It now is part of a bigger complex, including a massive First Nation museum. Sadly, I don’t have any photos of the interior of the native museum. Maybe I was sick of taking photos after driving for 18 days straight… But maybe they had a rule about outside photography. I can’t recall.
However, the museum had some elaborate rooms depicting all the aspects of northern Minnesota native indian lifestyles. The harvesting of rice was really interesting. They also had experts come in and explain the details. Like they would submerge their canoes underwater when they migrated to different parts of the country.
Also, Lac Mills had this spiffy fish statue. I caught a fish this big once, but I let it go.
