Ely-Winton Historical Society
1900 E Camp Street
Ely, MN 55731
Phone: (218) 365-3226
The Ely-Winton Historical
Society is located within the Vermilion Community College in
Ely, Minnesota. It has been in operation since 1962 and moved to
a museum especially designed for them in 1982. The purpose of
the Society is to collect and preserve items from the history of
the region and then to enlighten visitors through displays and
programs. The museum walks the visitor through the history of
the area beginning with the prehistoric peoples who populated
places along lakes and rivers. Their Native American display
exhibits beautiful examples of beadwork and basketry. As logging
and iron ore mining were two major industries during the first
half of the 20th Century, extensive displays of both are on
view. Other areas of interest are Immigration, Medicine, and the
Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.
