Carlton County History and Heritage Center

關於

The Carlton County History and Heritage Center is a museum located in Cloquet, Minnesota. The building, located in former historic Shaw Memorial Library, is owned and operated by the Carlton County Historical Society. The museum is dedicated to preserving and displaying the history of Carlton County. The Society has collected and preserved the history of Carlton County since 1949 and has operated out of the building since 1987.

On March 28, 2019, Carlton County transferred the deed for the museum building to the Carlton County Historical Society. Back in the 1980s, the city of Cloquet had sold the building to the county for $1. The County Board of Commissioners voted to transfer the deed to the Society for the same nominal amount.

Four rotating exhibits are on display each year, with two permanent exhibits focusing on the fires of 1918 and the lumber industries.
