NEW EXHIBIT
“Main Streets of Carlton County”
October through January 2012
The exhibit features historical photos and artifacts depicting the main streets of fifteen towns in Carlton County - Atkinson, Barnum, Carlton, Cloquet, Cromwell, Esko, Holyoke, Kettle River, Mahtowa , Moose Lake, Sawyer, Scanlon, Thompson, Wrenshall and Wright.
The number of artifacts and photos from Cloquet's main street fills one entire room behind the front desk, and includes a recreation of the Puumala Clinic, items from Cloquet's Fire Hall and Sons of Norway Lodge. We wish to thank those who helped with the exhibit, Doctors Ricard and Barbara Puumala, Dr. Vicki Anderson, Dan Unulock, Bergquist Imports, members of the Sons of Norway and the Cloquet Fire Department.
The main streets of the other fourteen towns are exhibited in the front of the museum on the east side. Come to see the historic main street look of all these Carlton County towns.
Do you have any Main Street photos we are missing? We would love to make copies for our collection!
The museum offers visitors the opportunity to view two permanent exhibits, the “Fires of 1918” exhibit and the “Carlton County Logging” exhibit. Visitors may also view historical videos of the 1918 forest fire, use the archives in the CCHS research library and attend special programs every month. The building is handicapped accessible. For more information call 218-879-1938.
