Named from the fur traders' phrase "The Thousand Lakes Region," this lake is 1250 feet above sea level and covers about 200 square miles. It formerly included much low ground and several adjacent lakes. When visited by Du Luth in 1679, Sioux villages, now indicated by numerous burial mounds, lined the lake shore.

The Concourse, located in the town of Garrison, Minnesota on Lake Mille Lacs, was constructed mainly by the CCC from 1936 to 1939. There is another marker on the site that was placed in 1927, prior to the Concourse being built. |
