Lee Zopff, Marti Marchino and Lynn Pauloski We were a featured Historic Lodge at the first annual 'Taste' tour this past Saturday. The volunteers from the Historical Society made treats from the cook book and they also premiered the new Gunflint DVD.
The event was 1 t0 5 pm and featured us, Nor'Wester and Chik-Wauk. Chik-Wauk is where the museum and nature center is being planned and will open in 2010. I really didn't know if we would see 10 people stopping by or none. But what a surprise! Visitors started about 12:15pm and we estimate that we had close to 100 people stop by to see the lodges and taste the treats. It was wonderful to hear the stories from people who were revisting the lodge from years past and to introduce the lodge to new visitors.
To help out with the lodge history and information on the Gunflint Trail Historical Society were two past owners, Lee Nelson Zopff and Marti Marchino. This is a picture of the 3 of us in front of the lodge fire place.
Marti brought along a sheet with the history of the ownership of the lodge.
