Ironworld Discovery Center
One of the major attractions in the City of Chisholm, Minnesota is the Ironworld Discovery Center - a museum that dedicates itself to the rediscovery of the Iron Ranges of Minnesota.
Situated on the borders of the famous Glen mine, Ironworld Discovery Center not only showcases the mining past of the region but also displays the influence of this industry on the region’s culture and heritage all brought about by the variety of immigrants. Visitors, who are interested in the origin of mining in Northern Minnesota, its fiery growth and the subsequent decline, need not look any further.
The glorious past of the people of the Iron Range is well preserved and the life and the work of the bygone generations are bought alive through permanent and traveling exhibits. For those who want to delve further into the history can make use of the year long educative programs suitable for people of all ages.
Also find in the museum complex a comprehensive library that has extensive collection of books, research material, photographs and other artifacts devoted to the local history.
Riding a vintage trolley is a fun way to move around in the museum premises and there are other choices like playing mini-golf, viewing the splendid open mine pits and participating in the exciting events presented all year round.
