FISHING
MUSEUM
Spurred on by the promotion of fish wholesalers in
Duluth and the promise of opportunity, an extended
Norwegian family settled at the base of Carlton Peak
in 1893. Four years later, they christened the town
“Tofte,” and opened the first post office.
A replica of the 1900s fish houses that once sat across
Bluefin Bay, the twin-gabled red building houses the
North Shore Commercial Fishing Museum. Many of the
relics, artifacts and photos have been donated by the
descendants of the original immigrants, the Toftes and
Engelsons. Include a visit to this wonderful collection
that preserves and shares the fishing heritage of the
North Shore.
Nearby are shops, cafes & restaurants, the local
grocery and liquor store, a great basket shop, an
outfitter and the ranger station, four seasons of trails,
a lakeside public park and picnic pavilion, and a little
lakewalk connecting it all.
