Top 5 Museums in Grand Marais, Minnesota (MN)
Grand Marais is a city in Cook County, Minnesota, United States. It is a northern village located on the shores of Lake Superior, and a vibrant, bustling town. The population was 1,351 at the 2010 census. It is also the county seat and sole municipality of Cook County. Prior to inhabitation by white settlers and prior to Minnesota’s statehood, Grand Marais was inhabited by the Anishinaable indigenous people, the thriving woodland people also known as the Ojibwe. The Ojibwe name for the area is Gichi-biitoobiig, which means "great duplicate water," "parallel body of water" or "double body of water" (like a bayou), a reference to the two bays which form the large harbor off Lake Superior.

Great selection of artists. They let us bring our dog inside as long it wasn’t crowded. Good price range for everyone to find that special item to take home as a remembrance of Grand Marais.

Well organized look at the history and people of the Gunflint Trail. Especially enjoyed the interviews and recordings of resort owners in the area. Watercraft exhibit in separate building is very well curated.
