This past week, the Superior Telegram released it’s 14th episode of Archive Dive, which is a monthly history podcast hosted by Telegram reporter Maria Lockwood. Each month, Maria and a local historian dive into the archives of historic events, people and places in Superior and Douglas County. 

This month’s episode of Archive Dive focuses on the Grand Foot Path, a trail that traverses from St. Croix Falls to Madeline Island. Known by many names over the years, it was used for travel by foot, horseback and via stagecoach as the area developed. Echos of the foot path remain as various trails in Douglas County.

Maria is joined by Brian Finstad, historian with the Gordon-Wascott Historical Society, as they discuss the trail's Native American origins, and how it grew to become an important travel circuit Finstad, a native of Gordon, grew up with the foot path "in his backyard" as segments went right through property his family owned.

"It is always interesting to me that there were communities that were very historically connected together because of how people traveled that today, we don't think of as very connected," said Finstad. "The Grand Foot Path (St. Croix Trail, Bayfield Trail, Stagecoach Line) fell out of use when the railroads came to the area. As soon as the railroads came in, it very quickly disappeared. Even in the 1880s, you'll find that they were already writing about it as it was something from long ago history."

Also in this episode, Maria and Brian look at how the foot path influenced business, careers and traveling; its multiple names; why it had the attention of a U.S. Senator from Minnesota; why it was national news in newspapers in the 1850s and 1860s; why it's hard to find mentions of it in Wisconsin and Minnesota stagecoach history; where you can see segments of the trail; the significance of Gordon's Moccasin Road; plans for an auto tour of the trail, and much more.

You can find that full episode at superiortelegram.com or whatever streaming service you listen to this podcast.  

In case you missed Archive Dive’s 13th episode, we are re-sharing it here. In February, Maria and frequent guest Teddie Meronek, who is a local historian and retired librarian, spoke about Superior's Grand Opera House and how it was indeed grand! Enjoy!

In this special weekend episode, Duluth News Tribune arts and entertainment reporter Jay Gabler shares his most recent article in his weekly column, "Front Row Seat." Today's topic is: Bayfield reads through 'Lord of the Rings,' with spirituality, soup.
