Schroeder Area Historical Society at the Cross River Heritage Center
By Samantha Denney – Business Manager
Thank you to the Cook County Community Fund for the grant to the Cross River Heritage Center. These funds help achieve our program services expansion project.
The grant will be used to enhance our Explore MN Welcome Center through developing online programming, expanding indoor brochure areas, and creating an outdoor information kiosk for the North Shore community and visitors.
The expansion project aims to enhance the community through the promotion of Cook County businesses and services.
About the Schroeder Area Historical Society
It is the only Tudor architectural-style building in Cook County and through the years has been home to a boarding house, restaurant, meat market, gas station, post office, and the Cross River General Store. Since 2002, it has operated as the Cross River Heritage Center - the museum-home of the Schroeder Area Historical Society! The Heritage Center will re-open in May 2021.
