Fort Beauharnois
Frontenac, United States
On the shore of Lake Pepin just north of here a French expedition commanded by LaPerriere and accompanied by two Jesuits in September 1727 built a substantial log fort and the mission of St. Michael the Archangel. The post was occupied periodically until about 1756. <br><br> <center><small><i>[seals of the Minnesota Department of Highways and Minnesota Historical Society]</i> <br><br> 2010 Replica of Original 1940 Plaque</small></center>
