Besides the giant fish I enjoyed looking at all of the old motorboat motors and learning their history. Plenty of other gear and lures and stuffed fish.

The building was a former potato warehouse. The docent that day, Carol, was friendly and helpful when we asked some questions. Lots of old pictures, which I enjoy. Free but accepts donations.

I only had a little time to explore and what I did see I really like. They have a great collection of fixer up trains and I saw some that I had not seen before. If you have time and enjoy trains this is a must stop. When through this way again I will plan to have time for more sights and hopefully a train ride!

The historical objects and the stories told on the walls and by the museum worker were phenomenal. I loved learning about the Ojibwe people, culture and history and I can't believe how much I learned. It is amazing to have a museum exist like this. They also showed a section about the French fur traders and there were cool maps and incredible objects to see there too. The museum worker was so kind and he also told us really amazing stories and history that wasn't just in the museum. He really made it a special experience as well, I forgot to ask hiI highly recommend this museum for anyone staying at Madeline Island, it really makes you realize what a special place it is for so many reasons. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

The museum itself is amazing. The woodworker was truly talented and it is hard to believe that…read moreanyone could do such beautiful life sized work. Our group of 4 was greatly impressed with his talent. The experience would have deserved a 5 star if it had not been for the woman at the front desk who said she was married to the nephew of the sculptor. She was terribly rude to us and continued to belittle us and shame us if we were not listening to her and looking her in the eye while she told us what we were about to see in the museum. After we toured the museum I came out to ask her a few more questions and again she shamed me by saying "You don't read, do you?" That tone continued and still she ranted about the rudeness that we exhibited when she was talking to us. She was the one that was rude. It is too bad that the museum does not have someone at the front desk that is more welcoming and kindhearted. With that being said, I still would recommend the museum, but if this woman is at the front desk, be ware! She is negatively impact on the beauty of the man's work.

Overall the staff were nice, it had some nice trails in the area, and there was a cool lookout at the very top. They also had a "night" hike that same day so we came back later in the evening for that. Unfortunately, the sun was only just setting, so we didn't get to experience a true night hike. Maybe next time!

We had visited the Depot in Duluth and seen the North Shore Scenic Railroad departure point, so we were looking forward to visit the Two Harbors Depot Museum, where the NSSR train stops for its northernmost point. The depot is located in the 1907 headquarters of the Duluth and Iron Range Railway Company. It's been charmingly restored, with ticket booths and telephone operator stations still intact. There are several different areas of displays, covering everything from military service to local culture at the turn of the last century. The museum has a gift shop and bathrooms available. Be aware of the timing of your visit; if you arrive at the same time the NSSR train does, there will be many passengers lining up to use those bathrooms, as the train is historic and does not have lavatory facilities. We were able to see the train pull into the station and, after its rest stop, hear that most lovely sound--a train whistle signaling "All Aboard!" The Depot Museum is definitely worth a stop for all visitors to Two Harbors!
