Additional Information: | This historic marker was erected in 1955 overlooking Lake Pepin, indicating the nearby historic site of Fort St. Antoine which was established in 1686, when this area was under French ownership and rule. The overlook driveway and low stone wall that flank the marker appear to date to the same time as the marker. |
