Cross River Heritage Center

Schroeder Area Historical Society on Lake Superior's North Shore

Historical Displays

Whether you are a visitor, former resident or current resident of this North Shore community, you will find it interesting to view the history as you view the various historical displays in the Cross River Heritage Center.  The Vintage Room is full of photographs and memorabilia which tell the story of “The Greatest Generation.” You will find display cases filled with interesting artifacts from earlier days.  Pictorial displays tell the story of Taconite Harbor and also the story of the building which houses the Cross River Heritage Center.

Vintage Display

The Schroeder Area Historical Society has a collection of oral histories, photographs and memorabilia which are stored in a temperature / humidity controlled room at the Cross River Heritage Center.  Through recent grant funding from the Minnesota Historical Society, these artifacts are catalogued in a database.  Digital images accompany the information about each artifact.  Interested persons can use this data base to conduct genealogy studies.
