Iron Range Historical Society, Mining history museum in McKinley, United States.
The Iron Range Historical Society maintains over 20,000 photographs in 90 albums, documenting the development of Minnesota's mining communities through the decades.
Founded in 1973, the organization operated in Gilbert, Biwabik, and Aurora before establishing its current location at McKinley City Hall on Grand Avenue.
The research library preserves city directories, yearbooks, family histories, and oral records that detail the lives of Iron Range residents since 1899.
The facility opens on Mondays and Tuesdays from 10 AM to 2 PM, offering free admission while charging moderate fees for specific research services.
In 1976, the society attempted to protect the final Corsica Mine smokestack near Elcor, constructed by Cornish miners in 1901.
