Gratiot's Grove (Wisconsin)


Gratiot's Grove was a mining settlement and later, a frontier fort, during the Black Hawk War, in Michigan Territory.

History

In 1824, Henry Gratiot settled in the area with his brother and set up a mining and smelting operation. Later during the Black Hawk War, the settlement became Fort Gratiot. Today the Gratiot House still survives in what had been Gratiot's Grove.
