If our many Paul Bunyan statues are anything to go by, Minnesota has a history of lumberjacks – especially the northern half of the state. Plenty of roadside attractions are a testament to this unique history, and they all make a great stop when you’re driving through the Land of 10,000 Lakes. One of our favorite lumberjack attractions is a museum and cafe in Duluth. Read on to learn about this special spot that will take you back in time.
Tom’s Logging Camp is a roadside attraction along Minnesota’s North Shore. The address is 5797 N Shore Dr, Duluth, MN 55804.
