As the mining industry exploded at the turn of the century, people seeking economic prosperity and freedom immigrated to communities across the Iron Range - like Chisholm.
Ironworld, a museum located at the west end of Chisholm, preserves this period of history by telling the stories of immigrants that settled the Iron Range.
Here, you will be greeted by the “Iron Man” statue, an 85-foot memorial that serves as a reminder of the iron ore that has shaped the country.
As you travel further into Chisholm, the Minnesota Museum of Mining showcases mining equipment used during the foundation of the Mesabi Iron Range, providing a glimpse into the area’s rich mining history.
At the east edge of the city lays the Bridge of Peace, which proudly flies the flags of the United States and countries world-round.
Favorite events like Fire Days, Polar Bear Days, Field of Screams and the Saint Louis County Fair highlight Chisholm’s festival calendar.
