WoW it even shows the location of Louis's Fur Post! it is right near the Old French Cemetary. I'm definately plannin a trip to the Nicollet County Treaty Center.. The treaty rock is between Louis's Post and the Cemetary! So Does anyone know whats going on with the cemetary? have they identified how many graves there? hmm hmm hmm
