September 2011 through January 2012 - "Main Streets of Carlton County"
The exhibit featured 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 filled one entire room behind the front desk, and included 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 were exhibited in the front of the museum on the east side. Do you have any Main Street photos we are missing? We would love to make copies for our collection!
