The dangers of getting stiffed and other tales from Ely’s history

Not even 67 inches of snow accumulation (give or take a few inches) could stop Ely Film Festival attendees from participating in the walking tour of downtown Ely.

Jess Edberg, executive director of the Dorothy Molter Museum, symbolically led a walking tour of the historic buildings in the Ely Commercial District; due to the blizzard, the presentation was held in the warmth of the Greenstone Theater instead.

Edberg began the presentation with an acknowledgment of the continuous occupation of the land by the Anishinabeg people.
