history

First there were the Native American Indians. Then came the missionaries. The trappers and the fur trade. The loggers and the timber industry. The Scandinavians and fishing. The innkeepers. One by one, family by family, each left their mark and added to the rich history that makes today's North Shore a unique community.

Be sure to make time to share our varied and facinating hertage while you're here. Father Baraga's Cross in Schroeder is a great place to start. Then take a peek into the past at the North West Company Fur Trading Post at the end of the Grand Portage trail. Celebrate the heritage of the early loggers during John Schroeder Days in June. Tofte's new fishing meseum gives an indepth history of a classic North Shore livelihood.

Innkeeping here dates back over 100 years. So you see, just staying here makes you a part of our history.
