The St. Louis County Depot
The St. Louis County Depot is a historic train station in Duluth, Minnesota, United States. It was built as a union station in 1892, serving seven railroads at its peak. Rail service ceased in 1969 and the building was threatened with demolition until it reopened in 1973 as St. Louis County Heritage & Arts Center. Something for everyone. Not a lot of attractions can say that, but with six organizations under one roof, it’s a pretty sure thing. History. Culture. Art. Education. Ojibwe Heritage. Theater. Immigrant Experiences. Veteran Memorials. Oh, and did we mention TRAINS?

Leif Erikson Park and Rose Garden
Originally Called Cullum Park and then Lake Shore Park, this greenspace located along Lake Superior near the mouth of Chester Creek became Leif Erikson Park in 1927 after Bert Enger purchased the replica vessel Leif Erikson, which sailed from Norway to Duluth, and donated it to the city on the condition it be placed in the park and the park renamed in its honor. The park has long been home to Duluth’s Rose Garden and includes a historic amphitheater stage and the Lakewalk slices through it. The Leif Erikson vessel, however, sits in storage near Bayfront Park.
