History:   

GRAND RAPIDS Township received its name from the location of its village, the county seat, beside rapids of the Mississippi, having a fall of five feet in a third of a mile. The city was incorporated as a village June 11, 1891, and as a city in 1957; established as the county seat on November 8, 1892, following a long fight with La Prairie for the designation. Although logging camps, trading posts, and buildings were on the site earlier, the first permanent building was the Potter Company general store in 1872; Lowe G. Seavey, first postmaster in 1874, built the first hotel; a station of the Duluth and Winnipeg Railroad was built in 1890; one of the major businesses is the Blandin Paper Company and its Blandin Foundation.

Recreated turn-of-the-century logging camp. After the exhibits, visit the logging camp where you'll find the camp blacksmith, saw filer, clerk, cook and lumberjacks. Then, board the moored river "wanigan," a floating cook shack used when the logs and men headed downstream to the mills. Then take a seat on the porch of a 1930s Minnesota Forest Service patrolman's cabin and lookout tower and hear about the ranger's important work protecting woodland resources.

Old Central School
Downtown Grand Rapids
Phone: (218) 326-6431

Central School originally housed all grades, and was known for its academic rigor; students were required to learn the Latin classics - impressive for a tiny northwoods community! In 1908, a new high school was built, but Central School remained in use until the 1970s. In the 1980s, a major renovation was begun. Today, Central School houses the Heritage Museum, maintained by the Itasca County Historical Society, as well as a number of unique shops with a distinct and friendly local flavor.

Mesabi Trail  
The Taconite State Trail stretches 165 miles from Grand Rapids to Ely and intersects with the Arrowhead State Trail just west of Lake Vermillion. The first 6 miles from Grand Rapids are paved for biking and in-line skating. The remainder of the natural surface trail is used primarily for snowmobiling in the winter. The trail goes through a few areas that have standing water in the summer, however portions of the trail are suitable for horseback riding, hiking, and mountain biking.

The Taconite Trail winds through forests of birch and aspen intertwined with pine, leading the visitor by many isolated lakes and streams. From Grand Rapids heading north, you see the impact of the taconite and iron mining industry. The northern portion of the trail terrain is rolling and tree covered as it winds through state and national forest land.

Eight trail waysides and picnic facilities offer scenic vistas of the hills, lakes and rivers of this area. The trail also links three state parks: Bear Head Lake, Soudan Underground Mine, and McCarthy Beach. The landscape in and around Bear Head Lake State Park is very rolling and rocky.

KAXE is volunteer-based radio. That’s why KAXE sounds like northern Minnesota. There are real folks on the air, from all walks of life, representing a wide variety of interests. KAXE doesn’t have screaming DJs or shock jocks or even silky-voiced public radio types. KAXE’s voices belong to teachers, snow plow drivers, resort owners, clergy, mail carriers, musicians, and more.

About 80% of the locally originated music programs you hear on KAXE are produced by volunteers. Many other volunteers offer their expertise on the Morning Show. Volunteers also help with mailings, food, public service announcements, engineering, newsletters, events, and pledge drives. Volunteers serve as KAXE’s Board of Directors and Community Advisory Board. They are KAXE’s inspiration and foundation.
