Join Our Friends

Grand Portage National Monument would not be nearly as successful without support from volunteers, partner contributions, and the Eastern National sales outlet. By volunteering or supporting our partnerships at Grand Portage National Monument, you become more involved in activities at your favorite areas managed by the National Park Service.

National Parks of Lake Superior Foundation

This friends group is a privately supported effort to fund special projects in the five U.S. national park units located on Lake Superior. The five parks are Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, Grand Portage National Monument, Isle Royale National Park, Keweenaw National Historical Park, and Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.

Donations to the National Parks of Lake Superior Foundation assist parks with worthy projects over and above funding for basic park operations. Projects include preservation of historic structures and lighthouses, improved visitor services, and enhanced environmental education programs. The projects and programs NPLSF supports help to fill in the gaps that fall beyond the NPS budget.

Bookstore

Proceeds from the Eastern National bookstore outlet support the Rendezvous Days special event, the highlight of the summer at Grand Portage. Eastern National contributions allow the Monument to include new presentations every year by reenactors expert in crafts and knowledge of the fur trade era and include prizes from the bookstore to participants in the diverse contests and games which take place during the event.

The bookstore is the sales arm of America's National Parks, which provides quality educational experiences to national park visitors through park stores, tours & programs, and custom products.
