About Us

The Depot Museum provides a great overview of the storied past of Lake County from the shores of Lake Superior to the logging and mining camps inland. Visit the 3M Birthplace Museum to learn about how a fortune 500 company got its start from a failed mining operation on the North Shore of Lake Superior located at 201 Waterfront Drive.
