Beaver Bay, Mn

05/15/2021

About twenty-five miles north of Two Harbors on Highway 61 is the town of Beaver Bay. Established as a permanent settlement in 1856, Beaver Bay is the oldest continuous settlement along the North Shore of Lake Superior, and it was home to commercial fishing, logging, and mining. Mining and fishing activity continues to this day.

Beaver Bay was also the home of John Beargrease. Beargrease, the son of an Ojibwe chief, delivered mail with his brothers along the North Shore from Two Harbors to Grand Marais, with occasional deliveries to Grand Portage via dog sled in the winter months. The Beargrease Dog Sled Race that runs from Duluth to Grand Portage is named after him.

Beaver Bay is the oldest settlement along the North Shore of Lake Superior. It was established in 1856 -- two years before Minnesota became a state. Take a short walk up a steep hill on the edge of town and you’ll find a traditional Ojibwe cemetery. The first burials here took place about 1865. You’ll find a plaque on top of the hill with names of those buried here including several members of the Beargrease, Wishoop, and Yellowbird families, along with the Blueskys, Boyers, Estains, Grasshoppers, and Morrisons. Descendants of these families continue to make the north shore their home.

Last minute Voyage

(Print in link below)

The ore boats were running towards Duluth, Minnesota this morning along the North Shore of Lake Superior. I got to Split Rock Lighthouse just in time to catch the last of 3 ore boats heading west along the cold shoreline in the seasmoke as the sun was rising above it all.
What an amazing sight this morning.
