Due to the extreme levels of smoke this evening’s Depot at Dusk will be postponed to a later date. We are currently coordinating with artists to find the best time to re-schedule. The Depot museum will remain open normal operating hours 10 AM to 5 PM today. Our hearts go out to those impacted by the wildfires and appreciation for the strength and courage for those fighting the fires across the Superior National Forest. We hope to gather again soon. Stay safe everyone.
