Grand Rapids

Few cities in Minnesota have a history as closely tied to the pine logging trade as Grand Rapids. The Mississippi River runs through the city, a route that once carried timber from northern forests and helped establish Grand Rapids as an important lumbering centre. The Forest History Center interprets the working lives, camps and equipment of that era. Grand Rapids is also the birthplace of Judy Garland, commemorated by the Judy Garland Museum. Lakes, woods and the river still define the setting of this northern Minnesota community.
