It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970〔 and designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1958.〔 ==John Johnston== (詳細はNorthern Ireland, the son of William Johnston and Elizabeth McNeil, well-to-do landowners.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online )〕 In 1790, he moved to what is now Canada, and became associated with the North West Company, a fur trading company headquartered in Montreal. In 1791, Johnston went on a trading trip to Mackinac Island, and continued on himself, establishing a trading post on the Bad River near what is now Ashland, Wisconsin and befriending the local Ojibwe.〔 At the end of the season, Johnston took his furs to Montreal, but in 1792 returned to the Bad Rivber area and married ''Ozhaguscodaywayquay'', the daughter of Ojibwe war chief ''Waubojeeg''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = City of Sault Ste. Marie )〕 In 1793, Johnston and his wife settled in the Sault to trade with the native residents there. The couple had four sons and four daughters, including Jane Johnston Schoolcraft, who married notable author, explorer, and Native American culture expert Henry Rowe Schoolcraft. John Johnston was Justice of the Peace in Sault Ste Marie for many years. He remained in Sault Ste. Marie for the rest of his life, remaining in the fur trade.〔 In 1812, Johnston helped British troops take control of Fort Mackinac on Mackinac Island.〔 In 1814, American forces burned his house, as well as $40,000 of his goods, in retaliation.〔 However, Johnston rebuilt, in part by selling his parent's estate in Ireland, and became connected with John Jacob Astor's American Fur Company.〔 John Johnston died on September 22, 1828.〔
