Duluth is known for its exciting restaurants, breweries and attractions and one of the very best is still considered a hidden gem: the Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum, one in a family of seven that collectively hosts more than a million historical documents, making it one of the largest private collections of historic manuscripts in the entire world. Located in the former First Church Of Christ Scientist building, the museum hosts more than 26 important documents at any given moment, along with art, photography and other items related to literature, science, religion and political history. You can even take a walk down memory lane with yearbooks from local high schools and maps dating back to the 1800s. You’ll never get bored: exhibits rotate between museums four times a year. With free entry and a location as historic as the documents inside of it, the Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum really is Duluth’s best kept secret - until now. Matthew Sjelin, Director of the Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum, is spilling all on one of Duluth’s most undiscovered treasures.
