Celebrate 20 Years of the Gunflint Trail Historical Society and 15 Years of Chik-Wauk!

Saturday, July 5, will mark two exciting milestones: the 20th Anniversary of the Gunflint Trail Historical Society (GTHS) and the 15th birthday of the Chik-Wauk Museum & Nature Center!

🎂 Festivities will include cake and beverages.
🎤 At 1:00 PM, longtime resident Sue Kerfoot will share the story of how the GTHS and the Chik-Wauk Museum came to be.
🥾 Afterwards, take a guided hike with Emma Adams and learn more about the rich history of the Chik-Wauk property.

Inside the Museum, don’t miss this year’s special temporary exhibit, celebrating the incredible spirit and dedication of the volunteers and community members who made Chik-Wauk Museum & Nature Center a reality in 2010.

For the cooks and bakers out there, creating something meaningful often starts with a recipe. But what if there isn’t one? That was the challenge the early GTHS founders faced. There were no instructions—just a vision to preserve the stories of the Gunflint Trail and bring them to life at Chik-Wauk.

Their ingredients? Passion, perseverance, community spirit, and a deep love for the Northwoods.
This exhibit shares the story of how those ingredients came together to create something truly timeless.

Come celebrate —honor the past, enjoy the present, and help shape the future of this special place.
