A Superior Town . . . Duluth, MN

by acemj - last update: Jun 1, 2005

Me skipping rocks on Lake Superior
Duluth is a great three hour daytrip from the Twin Cities of Minneapolis-St. Paul. The port city is located on the western tip of Lake Superior about half-way between Minneapolis and the Canadian border. If at all possible, try to set aside a few extra days to see the city and its surrounding area. From Duluth, drive northeast on along the lake's North Shore and you'll discover some amazing, rugged coast and beautiful wooded lands.
As a kid, we occasionally drove up to Duluth to do some camping and to breathe the crisp, clean air in this area. A quick study of Duluth's history will reveal its Ojibwe Indian roots as well as a heavy influence from French settlers. Another interesting historical note is that at one time Duluth boasted more millionaires than any other city in the world!

 Great to see beautiful Duluth and surroundings I do hope to visit someday! Your mom's land looks very pretty and reminds me some parts of... Poland.

 Hey, I didn't know you lived in Minnesota - I lived there, but didn't like the Lutefisk!
