Chisholm, a mining community on the shores of Longyear Lake since the late 1800s, commemorates its mining legacy in novel ways.

Entering the city from the west, visitors are greeted by the "Iron Man" statue, an 85-foot iron ore miner memorial. At the east edge of the city lies the Bridge of Peace, proudly flying the flags of countries world-round, representing the ethnic and cultural diversity of the area's residents.

Hotels, campgrounds, resorts, and fine restaurants are all found in the Chisholm area. Chisholm is also the home of Minnesota Discovery Center, which brings history alive with hands-on exhibits, music, dance, ethnic foods and craft demonstrations.
