If you’re ever looking for a rainy day activity on the Gunflint Trail, don’t forget about the reading corner at Chik-Wauk.

Thanks to the hard work of our volunteer librarians, the Chik-Wauk boasts quite the library. You’ll find books about the Gunflint Trail area, books by Gunflint Trail residents, and information about the region’s flora and fauna. We also have several “wooden” books, or books compiled by the Gunflint Trail Historical Society with information on the museum and its history, historical photos, and much more. Kids can find plenty of reading material in the children’s section of the library. We have all sorts of stories about bears, moose, berry picking and the life and legends of the North Woods.

It’s not a lending library (yet), so feel free to plop down in one of our four easy chairs or spread out on the burl table in the other corner of the museum. It’s been designed with intent for you to stay a while.

If you have a book you’d like to donate to the Chik-Wauk Library, feel free to bring it with you the next time you’re in our neck of the woods. We’re always very happy for any additions to round out our selection.

Happy Reading!
