The Beaver House is a unique and instantly recognizable building located in downtown Grand Marais, Minnesota. For many, myself included, it embodies a classic Minnesota feel, especially with the giant fish mounted on its corner.
This distinctive structure was once a beloved bait store, established in 1964 by Tyson Cronberg. Cronberg, who was something of an inventor, created and sold his famous Beaver Flicks float lure here, making the shop a favorite stop for fishermen.
Unfortunately, the store was closed during my visit. Cronberg eventually retired so he could finally enjoy fishing himself. The building is currently available for leasing, and I sincerely hope its next tenant appreciates and takes care of this piece of Grand Marais history.
