 | | Don Hunt | A onetime bank building houses this local museum focussing on various aspects of life in these parts. "A day in the life" is illustrated with wonderfully detailed room-size scenes done fresh each year by the Bergdahl sisters. This year a two-harness loom has replaced the kitchen. They are "display artists." The hands-on Whatisit? table for kids changes yearly, too. — Feb. 2008
The general store in the back room is always a favorite. The miners' life exhibit with personal lunch buckets and hats is always up. Cancelled checks from the Copper Range company made out to area miners are for sale, each for a donation of a dollar, limit of five per person. Look through them; maybe you'll find an ancestor!
