This Old-Fashioned Lumberjack Cafe In Minnesota Will Take You Back In Time
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.
In the gift shop, you can check out clothing, jewelry, toys, and other items made in Minnesota and beyond. It's a great spot for a North Shore souvenir.
If you've ever wondered how lumberjacks lived and worked, this is the place to find out. Discover how they survived the bitter cold, what they ate, and how they hauled timber.
And you're ready for a little bite to eat yourself, head over to the cafe. Tom's Too! is right across the parking lot, and it's as delightful as the museum.
