Eveleth Heritage Committee

Eveleth Heritage Committee is one of two Independent Councils of the Laurentian Chamber of Commerce.

The mission of the Eveleth Heritage Committee is to help maintain and expand the economic vitality of the community by supporting and promoting the preservation and interpretation of the culture, history, and heritage of Eveleth.
