Slideshow bears witness to Jay Cooke State Park devastation

On Friday, December 21 at noon The Carlton County Historical Society hosts a slide show by photographer, Allen Anway, about the 2012 flood in Jay Cooke Park.

The show begins at noon today at 406 Cloquet Avenue in Cloquet.

Anway, raised in Cloquet, has been an avid hiker in Jay Cooke Park about as long as he has been interested in photography. During the June flood, he was admitted to the park to photograph the remarkable devastation with his special large frame camera for a show that’s hard to believe.

Come prepared to be amazed.

Admission is $1 with children younger than 12 and CCHS members admitted at no charge. The museum is handicapped accessible.

For more information, call the museum at 218-879-1938.
