The Ely-Winton History Museum desires to help you understand the land in which we live and what it offered to the people who lived here.
A community arose as people from diverse backgrounds came here to make a living and fulfill their dreams. The museum interprets what these people experienced in this land, what they strove for, how they coped with problems, what they achieved, and what they have passed down to their descendants. Using photographs, maps and artifacts, the displays present the different phases of 12,000 years of local history from prehistoric to the present.
Visiting a church is hard work sometimes! You’ve got to find parking, find the sanctuary, look for a place to sit, familiarize yourself with the worship service and try to find the hymns in the hymnal! If you’ve got kids, it’s even more complicated!
We completely understand. Helping you and your family find a safe and warm community of faith in which you can worship God and grow in the knowledge of Jesus Christ is our top priority as a congregation. We want you with us in worship and we’ll do what we can to help transition you into our community of faith.

Unlike the average vacationer’s resort, Veterans on the Lake has a unique historic background for why it was founded.
In 1982, Disabled Veterans Recreation, Inc. was organized by a group of northeastern Minnesota citizens passionate about finding adequate recreational resources for veterans. Originally the Disabled Veterans Recreation, Inc., Veterans on the Lake was started for the sole purpose of creating a recreational facility for disabled veterans to enjoy vacations. As a non-profit facility, this recreational location was designed to and currently serves the needs of disabled veterans, able bodied veterans, active duty military, their families, and friends.
Organic Roots was created as a reflection of my true passion for wholesome foods and nutrition.
In our fast-paced, fast-food society, we seem to have lost the connection between our health and foods we eat. At ORGANIC ROOTS, we are committed to produce and serve the most pure, organic and artfully crafted slow foods and to provide a friendly place of thoughtful and healthy eating and gathering.
Our food is hand-crafted with fresh, seasonal, organic and local ingredients and we make a conscious effort to practice sustainability in our business efforts.
Our dedicated team of staff cares about your well-being and is here to help you maintain good health.

“Untouched & Serene”…… These words are often used to describe Northern Minnesota. It’s what draws folks “Up North” and the crew of Low Impact Excavators is serious about keeping it that way. With over 31 years experience with heavy equipment, John Wavrin knows the damage excavating does to the land. He also knows it’s necessary when building a road, installing a septic system or even building a house. That’s why at Low Impact Excavators, John and his crew, leave “small footprints” removing only what is necessary-leaving the job site naturally landscaped, as close to original as possible.

Our goal as a congregation is to add to and pass on the spiritual enrichment and strength for living in Christ that we have received and to share the love of Christ with others. Our congregation represents, as it always has, a cross section of the Ely community: mining, tourism, education, health care, government and business.
We give thanks for our church building and the care given to it; yet, we value even more the heritage of Christian fellowship and service, which began here in 1892.
