Hinckley Fire Depot
& Gift Shop
Interprets the fire of 1894 that destroyed six towns
including Hinckley. Within 4 hours more than 400 square
miles were black and smoldering and 418 people lost
their lives. The museum is housed in the restored
railroad depot which is on the National Register of
Historic Places. The depot was destroyed in the fire but
was rebuilt immediately. The museum includes
original men's and women's waiting rooms, the eating
area known as the Beanery, the Freight Room where once
every hour a 20 min. documentary video is played, and
the depot agent's apartment upstairs. The gift shop
offers many unique items & collectables.

Banning
State Park
Minnesota's
first Wild and Scenic River tumbles turbulently through
a rugged gorge in Banning State Park. The Kettle River earned
its name from the water-swirled potholes, or kettles, formed
in the rock over many thousands of years. Sandstone ledges
frame the deeply carved valley where stone cutters quarried
the hard, pink stone in the late 1800's.
Removal of a ninety year-old
dam in 1995 near the park's southern boundary renders
the Kettle River once again free-flowing. Today, this
magnificent park welcomes all visitors, from hikers seeking spectacular scenery to kayakers anxious
to experience the fury of Minnesota's best whitewater.

St. Croix
State Park
Minnesota’s
largest state park, St. Croix is located at the confluence
of the State Wild and Scenic Kettle River and the National
Wild and Scenic St. Croix River. In the 1930's, St. Croix
was the location of a National Recreational Demonstration
Area, where Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) personnel
developed park facilities later modeled in recreation sites
nationwide. The park's critical role in the development
of the National Park Service has earned it the distinction
of National Historic Landmark. Visitors to St. Croix may
experience Jack Pine Savanna, one of the rarest remaining
natural communities in the Midwest. Camping, canoeing, biking,
hiking and interpretive programs are popular activities
at St. Croix State Park.
