From Boreal Community Media - November 2, 2024
Welcome to the 2024 Boreal Community Media virtual non-profit highlight! In the past, Boreal Community Media hosted an event called Dessert to the Max to celebrate and recognize local non-profits and their incredible work for the community. The event typically coincided with the Minnesota-based celebration Give to the Max, hosted by GiveMN, an annual celebration and “giving holiday” to all non-profits across the state.
This year, instead of an in-person celebration, Boreal is virtually honoring and highlighting these organizations on Boreal.org.
The non-profit organization we’re highlighting today is:
Organization Name
Mission/Work
We manage five historical sites around Cook County, including the Cook County History Museum (the original lightkeeper's house), the Nee-Gee Fishing Tug, the Chippewa City Church, Bally Blacksmith & Metal Shop, and the Johnson Heritage Post Art Gallery.
The Cook County Historical Society, along with the Schroeder Historical Society, the North Shore Commercial Fishing Museum (or Tofte Historical Society), and the Gunflint Trail Historical Society, is part of the Cook County Historical Alliance. The Alliance was formed in 2023 to collaborate and explore options for continued success in our respective areas of responsibility.
