If the walls could talk in the St. Louis County Depot, they would have a lot to say – The Depot has seen plenty in its 130 years. While the walls can’t talk, it’s lucky for us there is Hailey Eidenschink, The Depot’s Extension Educator, 4-H Youth Development & Cultural Coordinator. Hailey helps bring the past to life and leads the Haunted History Tours every October. We chatted with her to learn more about her background, her favorite Duluth spots, and if she considers herself “a believer” in ghosts.
If you’re in tune with the music scene in Duluth, you’ve likely heard of AfroGeode, or maybe the band AfroGeode and the Gemstones. Diona Johnson is the artist behind AfroGeode. Not only is she an independent musician, Johnson is also a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker at the College of Saint Scholastica, working as a Mental Health Therapist and Intercultural Specialist. We spoke with Johnson about her Duluth experience.
The Depot is home to the Lake Superior Railroad Museum, and is the departure point for the North Shore Scenic Railroad. These two entities, and the Duluth men charged with keeping the organizations on track, are the focus of this month’s Faces of Duluth. Ken Buehler and Josh Miller together took some time during their busy summer season to talk trains with us.
The shores of Gichigami (Lake Superior) have been home to Indigenous peoples for centuries, with the city of Duluth resting on the historical, traditional, contemporaryland of the Lake Superior Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) people. Today, the Anishinaabe culture is still preserved and celebrated in many ways throughout the city, thanks in part to the work of Ivy Vainio and the team at American Indian Community Housing Organization (AICHO).
As Director of Business Operations for the Lake Superior Zoo, Heidi Beal is charged with directing financial and human resources to support the organization’s mission. But Beal has another job title at the zoo, Staff Photographer.
Dudley Edmondson has made his home in Duluth while working as a photographer, filmmaker, writer and public speaker. His work – which often focuses on conservation and inclusion in the outdoors – has taken him from the Arctic Circle of Alaska to the Bahamas, and many places in between. Yet, he continues to return to Duluth to embrace the natural wonders of this unique place.
