Bonjour! These pages will help you get to know the French heritage of Wisconsin, from the Native people who lived here before the French arrived, to Marquette and Jolliet, to the founding of fur trade posts, forts, and missions. La Baie (Green Bay), Prairie du Chien, Mission du St. Esprit at Chequamegon, and much more: it’s a long and rich history! You’ll also find more resources to explore, and some teaching activities as well.
