Summary
Join us on a journey into the historical mystique of the little hamlet which is today called Butte des Morts. This small town on a hill with a panoramic view holds the lore and legends of the rugged pioneers who founded it. Fur traders like Augustin Grignon saw this strategic location as a gateway to regional trade. Learn about the hotels, taverns, and even a brewery that made Butte des Morts a bustling little town with its own school and church. The rise of the community and the grit of its founders and residents is a story of the American dream which became reality
