The Alger County Digital Archive, available in the Munising Public Library affords the user a window into the past via our local historic printed publications. This week in history one hundred years ago saw the most disastrous fire to ever occur in downtown Munising. The Munising News reported on a fire that broke out in the Baij’s barbershop and billiard hall on Superior Street, in the middle of the night during a northwest gale in minus 10 degree temperatures. One life and six large buildings were lost and eleven families were made homeless before the blaze was extinguished. Only by the heroic efforts of the Munising Fire Department was the rest of downtown saved. This amazing article is available for you to read in the Digital Archive at the library. Stop in a see what you can find.
