Living history walk Saturday

Learn about the 1918 fires by walking through history starting at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 10. The Moose Lake Area Historical Society is sponsoring a Living History Walk at Riverside Cemetery east of Highway 61 in Moose Lake.

Actors will play citizens from that time, including Albin Odberg, a prominent Kettle River resident; the Eckman family, early settlers in the area; and Frank Blomquist, who started the first sawmill in Moose Lake. Tickets are $10.

A 1918 Fire Commemoration will follow at the Soo Line Event Center. Physical distancing and masks are required. Call 218-485-4234 with questions.
