Gitche Gumee Agate and History Museum

It's a little museum in an old house in a residential neighborhood. You can bring in interesting stones you've found on the Lake Superior shore, and the owner will tell you if any of them are agates, eagerly sought by rock hounds. The museum has agates from around the world. There are also exhibits devoted to the general history of the area. A gift shop has been recently added. [Jay, 07/24/2007]
