Traveling around the Old North Shore

Martha Marnocha | June 28, 2024

Traveling the Old North Shore is a multi-part WTIP series focusing on the history of this diverse region.
In this edition, producer Martha Marnocha collects memories about the prison, liquor store and bar that were located in the former municipal building in the center of Grand Marais.
In 1998, the city center prison was moved to a new law enforcement facility on the outskirts of town, and the former city hall building was demolished in 2024.

We thank Gerilynne Heston, Rhonda Silence, Mickey Brazell, and Pat Eliasen for their contributions. Additional information was provided by the Cook County Courthouse and City of Grand Marais staff, Dave Wirt, Dick Dorr, and the Cook County Historical Society.
