Summer Exhibit Opening
June 19 @ 5:00 am - 7:00 pm
We are pleased to announce our summer exhibitions for 2024:
Lloyd E. Borg’s Depot Watercolors
Borg was a resident of Wayzata, Minnesota and took up watercolor painting at the age of 49. His intention was to capture disappearing American landscapes that were being forgotten as new technologies changed how Americans worked and traveled. One of his subjects was railroad depots in Minnesota that he painted on weekend trips with his wife in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s.
Copper Range Railroad Traveling History Exhibit
The Copper Range Railroad operated in the upper peninsula of Michigan. It primarily hauled copper from the Keweenaw peninsula, but also carried lumber and other materials from the remote areas to connect with larger railroads such as the Soo Line. This exhibit made by the Michigan Technological University and Copper Country Historical Society, shares the story of this railroad. On display in the museum, we have the Copper Range No. 200, the last diesel in operation in the copper industry on the upper peninsula.
These exhibitions will be on display until Labor Day. We will be hosting a grand opening for these exhibits on Jun 19, 2024 from 5 pm to 7 pm, with snacks and a cash bar available. This event is free and open to the public. We hope to see you there.
