Housed in the former Soo Line Depot, the Moose Lake Depot contains exhibits about the history of the area railroads and tells the story of the huge 1918 fire. The fire burned 250,000 acres, took more than 450 lives and devastated the Moose Lake-Kettle River area.
The mission of the Moose Lake Area Historical Society is to collect, preserve and promote the history of Moose Lake and the surrounding areas.
