Chik-Wauk Museum and Nature Center tells the story of the Gunflint Trail. 

Interpretive and interactive displays in the museum present the Gunflint Trail’s cultural and natural history from its prehistoric beginnings to the development of today’s unique, rural community.

A network of nature trails crisscrosses Chik-Wauk’s 50-acre grounds.  

The Museum and Nature Center is open daily from 10-5 from Memorial Day weekend - mid October.  Admission is $3 for an individual, $7 for a family. Members of the Gunflint Trail Historical Society may go through the museum free of charge.

Chik-Wauk Museum and Nature Center is a partnership of the Gunflint Trail Historical Society and Superior National Forest, Gunflint Ranger District.

Chik-Wauk is now closed for the 2011 season. Please visit us next summer. The 2012 season will run from  May 26 - October 21. See you then!

Chik-Wauk was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as of June 27, 2007. Acceptance on the National Register means that the National Park Service recognizes Chik-Wauk as a historically important site. It ensures the preservation of the building.
