About Us
The Eveleth Heritage Committee was created in 1997 under the umbrella of the now-defunct Eveleth Area Chamber of Commerce.  In 2003, the committee became a bureau of the new Laurentian Chamber of Commerce, which serves the Quad Cities area. 

In 2019, the organization incorporated as a 501(c)(3) organization and was renamed the Eveleth Heritage Society.

Our mission is "to preserve, interpret, and promote Eveleth’s unique culture, history, and heritage."
