A painting of a man in a military uniform sitting in a chair

Baron Louis-Philippe Boisverte lords over the Duchy of Grand Traverse from his lavish timber and stone palace known as Castle Peninsula, which presides over the fruitful vineyards, orchards and settlements of the Grand Traverse region.
A French nobleman fond of luxury, Baron Boisverte secured a colonial land grant charter after providing a substantial loan to Recteur Company investors seeking to promote further westward expansion and trade across Lake Michigan. He promptly set sail from Quebec as the principality’s first Steward-Lord before banks of snow capped his family crest fluttering atop the ship’s mast.
Establishing his manor overlooking Grand Traverse Bay, Boisverte envisioned building a New France amidst the straits and peninsulas - a civilized refuge for merchants, priests, commanders and other elite bleeding from the fallen Quebec citadel now overwhelmed by Britain’s colonial forces. Fruit trees and grape vines followed, making the frontier estate a popular seasonal escape for nobles wearied of court and seeking fine hospitality showcasing the best of both old world refinement and rugged natural splendor.
