Troops Shipped Out
In the latter part of 1945 troops were moved out from the fort, causing
a drastic decline of the Sault Ste. Marie population. The locks and canal
were now under the protection of the National Guard, activated in the Sault
in 1894.
Fort Brady Sold for School Use
After the Mexican War the Michigan National Guard joined Wisconsin to form
the Thirty-Second Division (the Red Arrow,) one of the great fighting divisions
of World War II. After the National Guard returned, the Fort was sold to
the State of Michigan for the Mining and Technology College in 1946.
In 1966 the school became the site of Lake Superior State College of Michigan
Technological University. The college became a separate entity in 1970 and received
university status in 1987, at which time Lake Superior State University was the
smallest public university in Michigan.
