Museums

The Lake County Historical Society is fortunate to feature an entire campus along Two Harbor’s Historic Waterfront. We open four museums for your pleasure; The 1907 Duluth & Iron Range Depot Museum, the 1892 Two Harbors Light Station, The 1896 Edna G. Tugboat, and the 1902 Dwan Building, birthplace of 3M and home to the 3M Museum.

Museums are open weekends beginning in May, then open daily starting Memorial Weekend through mid October. Special arrangements for group tours available.

Admission: $3 for Adults / $1 for children under 17
We encourage our guests to purchase a “Multi-Ticket” for all four museums and recieve $2 off the full admission to all four museums.

Don’t want to spend the minimal gate fee? Do you have a Arrowhead Library System library card? You can get a free pass to all four of our museums if you are a member of the Arrowhead Library System. Simply go to the library and present your card and ask for a museum pass to the Lake County Historical Society. Present this pass at any of our locations and recieve a multi ticket that will get you into all four museums.
