The carpet installation is nearing completion on the second floor of the Grand Portage Heritage Center, and the crew will begin pulling carpet on the main floor April 6.
Due to the nature of the tasks of removing the worn carpet and installing the new carpet (lots of tools on the floor, loud winch noise, glues, etc.) it will not be safe or pleasant for visitors to come into the building.
Therefore, the Heritage Center will be temporarily closed through Monday, April 10. It is hoped the building will re-open on Tuesday, April 11.
The monument grounds and trails will remain open for visitors during this time. Park brochures will be available at the front entrance to the Heritage Center. The closest public restroom facilities during this closure will be at the Grand Portage Trading Post a quarter mile west on Mile Creek Road.
Those needing to conduct business during this closure should contact monument staff directly. Up-to-date information on operating hours is available via phone at (218) 475-0123; on the monument’s website: www.nps.gov/grpo; and on Facebook.
